Stephen Colebourne commented on COLLECTIONS-110: ------------------------------------------------ The main reasons that [collections] has not been generified at apache are: - spare time of committers (very limited) - inability for new people to just be signed up as a committer (still true) - lack of user requests (may now be changing) The choice to use new packages was I believe a recommendation from us, so as to ensure that both the generic and non-generic versions can be in the classpath at the same time. > [collections] Support parametized classes with commons.collections. > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COLLECTIONS-110 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-110 > Project: Commons Collections > Type: Bug > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Colbert Philippe > > It's time to create a parallel version of commons.collections to support > parametized classes of each container class and abstract class.
