Sorry let me clarify... The comment was "The original code may be slightly incorrect (my understanding of java generics is not high)." And the response was "Me too. I don't like STL!" I do realize STL is built using generics. The Standard Template Library defines templates...but STL in and of itself isn't generics (meaning without STL there is still the notion of generics).

You're joking, right? Have you used the STL much?

Generics are very very handy :)

Maybe. I live in a world where the majority of my code has to work on pre-Java 5, and for code where I can use Java 5 features, generics don't seem to add a great deal. Maybe a bit less busywork in my code; ditto unboxing.

Me too. I don't like STL!
