not exactly :)

Maybe you could just wear a silly hat. That'd be enough.
I meant - something along the lines of -
PoolableObjectFactory<T> {
void activateObject(T obj);
destroyObject(T obj);
T makeObject();
void passivateObject(T obj);
boolean validateObject(T obj);
}
Oh, I misunderstood your request: you mean that you want to use
"generics" in commons-pool.
I wasn't able to find any environment "requirements" for commons-pool,
but I suspect that the developers would like commons-pool to be usable
in pre-1.5 Java environments, where generic classes aren't available.
I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of generics in the first place...
just syntactic sugar that ends up making your code uglier than it would
be with plain-old casting.
And, in Java, you don't even get RTTI which
is really too bad :(
That has been my biggest sore-point with generics too. There are some
talks of 'reification' and similar constructs in java 7 , but i believe
it has been postponed to the next release altogether as well.
If you'd like to use commons-pool as a basis for your own tools, you can
certainly modify the source code to add lots of< and> symbols if you
want. Also, patches are always welcome :)
Good to know. Is this being actively maintained at the moment / does it
warrant a separate branch for generics ?
