I will at least write a wrapper for the ListView class which uses generics. Things like
Person person = (Person) listItem.getModelObject();
sucks!

Yeah, using generics would be cool with ListView and the choice components. I'm afraid that's to early though, unless someone wants to start up and maintain a special Wicket branch for this.

There has been over 10 years of Java development without generics. I doubt that the introduction of generics makes the casts much unsafer than the previous 10 years.



Sorry, but: Do you realy belive wroking without generics is as safe as working with them?
There are serious reasons that Java has generics now.
If you don't understand that then it may be that you have missed something fundamental about generics.

That is not what martijn was saying!
We have developed pretty good application from day 1 with java until the latest version of 1.4.2 so not having generics wasn't a BIG problem in all those years.


Well he said that he doubts that generics make casts safer.
Quite the opposite is the fact.
They don't only makeing casts much much safer but the also actually removes the need for casts if you use them consistently.

PS: What's about using the tool whichs converts 1.5 bytecode to 1.4 class file somone mentioned a while ago? So we could use generics an still be able to provide the core to 1.4 users.


We are just as happy to go to generics as you. I would directly use almost the fullset of the 1.5 features (except static imports that is just ugly) if i could But all my projects are still 1.4 based. And i think this will not change this year.
