Stephen Colebourne commented on COLLECTIONS-110: ------------------------------------------------ If we were to consider this task, I would be very tempted to go for the more radical end of the implementation spectrum. That is : - to leave commons-collections as is, just JDK1.2+ - to create a number of smaller new projects for JDK1.5+ This deals with the problem of [collections] being too large (jar file size and number of classes). It allows free removal of any deprecations. It also allows for future growth. Backwards compatibility is not an aim. I would suggest possibly projects in the areas of: - functors (functor implementations, utilities and collection decorators) - maps (maps and bidimaps) - collection (collection, list, set, bag) Others may have alternative possible groups, but the basic aim is a small number of independent projects rather than one large one. > [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.
