Before I start coding, I think I need to know a little more backgrounds. The release-notes say: For commons-collections, we have chosen to break the API in various ways. I consider this the right thing to do. However, a major issue I expect is that the java.util Collection classes were carefully designed to stay backwards-compatible as much as possible. That decision causes the java collection classes to be only half generic which leaves us with several unchecked warnings that can not be worked around. Are we going to adhere to their choices or are we going to build the first fully generic java collection library?
