Edwin Tellman updated COLLECTIONS-243:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
I added generics to some more classes and fixed some compilation problems.

The generic version of Transformer required the input and output types to be 
identical.  This seemed to me to reduce the usefulness of transformed 
collections, as transforming one type into another seems like it would be a 
fairly common operation.  I'm not sure how to fix this, however, as it also 
doesn't seem feasible to have a generic TransformedCollection with different 
input and output types that implements Collection<E>.  Anyway, this patch 
de-generifies TransformedCollection, which also fixes some compilation 
problems.  Please disregard this change if you disagree and have a better 
solution.

The modified collection classes are:

Bags: PredicatedSortedBag, AbstractBagDecorator, SynchronizedBag, 
UnmodifiableSortedBag, SynchronizedSortedBag, PredicatedBag
Lists: PredicatedList, SynchronizedList
Sets: PredicatedSortedSet, SynchronizedSortedSet, PredicatedSet, 
UnmodifiableSortedSet, SynchronizedSet
Miscellaneous: PredicatedBuffer

I updated the description to list the changed collection classes, as suggested.
