Hi Rijk, There is a generics branch in Apache, but it's only had a trickle of development activity. You can read most of the debate about collections here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-110 There is currently not a nightly build running off this branch. You can find two forks of the collections project on SourceForge, and Google recently released their generic collection classes. The Google project unfortunately lacks many of the cool closure-like features available in Commons Collections. Stephen Kestle has recently been apply some patches to the generics branch, but it's a lot of work for just one committer. -Brian --- On Tue, 11/20/07, Rijk van Haaften <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Rijk van Haaften <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Commons Collections & Java 5 > To: "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <dev@commons.apache.org> > Date: Tuesday, November 20, 2007, 12:26 AM > Hi, > > As I couldn't find info on Commons & the new Java 5 > language features, I > decided to ask it here.
