we've had that feature available for more than one year[1] (see bottom page, generics added on 11.10.2010 23:39:15) and not released yet, when proposing the 2.0-beta1[2] the community rejected the proposal and people is still waiting for it - maybe because only Gary and I explicitly requested for it, is not enough? Of course we can work with SNAPSHOTS but it is hard - not just for me I bet - releasing products based on SNAPSHOT versions > Note also that Pool 1.x currently targets 1.3, so adding generics will > force source compliance of at least 1.5. > Not sure if it will force target compliance of 1.5 as well. If so, it > might no longer be a drop-in replacement for some isers. > We all already agreed on continue the pool development in pool2, nobody would expect new features included in the 1.X branch, so what's the risk of increasing the compliance level?
