I'm astonished that the Apache Commons Collections project still hasn't got around to making their library generics-aware. I really like the features provided by this library, but the lack of support for generics is a big turn-off. There is a Lavalabs fork of Commons Collections which does support generics, which seems to claim backward compatibility, but when I tried updating to this version, my web application failed to start (in JBoss).
My questions are:
- Whether anyone has successfully updated from Commons Collections to the fork mentioned above
- If Commons Collections has any plans to add support for generics
BTW, I'm aware of Google collections, but am reluctant to use it until the API stabilises.
Cheers, Don
