Major design decisions for [primitives]: 1) Extends or Decorates a) IntCollection extends Collection b) IntCollection and separately IntCollectionAdapter extends Collection
I prefer (a) as it makes the API easier to use, and faster (fewer objects). 2) Package structure a) All together b) Divide by collection/other interface c) Divide by primitive type I prefer (b) as the PCJ source code shows how well it works. 3) Follow Java Collections Framework a) Follow the Sun Framework closely b) Be more inventive where possible I prefer (b) as Sun's interfaces could be better in places. 4) How much to code generate a) None (!) b) All c) All classes, but not interfaces I prefer (c) at present, as I think it will simplify CVS (only interfaces present). To aid in understanding, I have checked in a few classes to get a feel for what the system would be like.
