Hi, I just wanted to share my experiences here with generifying some of the commons packages. I’ve been through several of them, when I needed them. The last one, just not, is CLI.
Here, one problem is the getValue() method and its relatives. It is not possible to derive from the context which type of value it is supposed to return. The method getValue() itself returns an object, but all usage examples I have seen until now return Strings and even more, there are even classes where it *can* be deduced that it will always return a String. So my question is: why doesn’t getValue() return a String, and should getValues() return a List<String> or a List<Object>? I think the latter would be unfortunate.
