While release 3.1 is being tidied up (still time to vote ;-), I thought I'd just put out a note about JDK1.5.
One of the key enhancements in JDK1.5 is generics which allows typed classes using the angle bracket notation. The biggest area this impacts is collections. Clearly questions have to be raised as to how this affects [collections]. So far, I have done no work to see if [collections] will compile under JDK1.5. My expectation is that it will, but there are no guarantees. To take full advantage of generics will involve a considerable rewrite of [collections]. It will affect every class, and produce a version that only compiles on JDK1.5. I have no doubt that Sun spent many mandays changing the JDK classes to achieve this update. Personally, I have no plans to update [collections] to JDK1.5 (no itch, too much effort). If anyone else does, feel free to come in and either change [collections], or (more likely) create a new [collections15] project.
