Agreed. I think we were talking about different compilation processes. I was referring to Math, and I (now) assume you were referring to code that uses Math. To give a concrete example, clone() and List<T>.get() etc no longer need casts. Removing the cast prevents the code from being compiled under 1.4, but does not affect other code compiled using 1.4. > > Regarding raw types, the types are erased at run-time anyway.
