As far as I can tell, the collection only supports a single type, similar to List<E>, and one would not expect to see other types used in such a List class. But I could be wrong which is why I was asking. Since j.u.List uses <E>, I think it would make sense use <E> here as well. > On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 6:21 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> CursorableLinkedList is based on the type T, and removeFirst() returns >> T, yet getFirst() returns Object. >> >> Also, toArray() returns Object[] or E[]. >> >> Not sure I follow why there is this mixture? >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
