Hi there,

one of the things that frustrates me about generics is working with collections. So I have a framework which has some stuff that deals with the abstract entity types (with these entity types being subclassed in the relevant application).

This leads to stupid stuff like this:
public class Thing {
        public void addAll( NSArray<AbstractType> foo );
        ...
}

And in the application:
NSArray<ConcreteType> bar;// assume exists

thing.addAll( bar ); // -- complains to be not compatible and casting fails

I can change addAll to take <? extends AbstractType> but then other stuff fails and so on. How are others dealing with this stuff?

with regards,
