This is an example of a bad checkin.  It should have been done as 2
checkins.  One, for the generics/java1.5/javolution changes.  The
other checkin then would remove the methods.

The reason for this, is the method removal is an actual code
api/abi/feature change.  Those types of commits should be separate, as
it makes debugging much easier.  Just because those methods have been
removed *now*, doesn't mean external people using those methods will
notice.  They will find out about it in 1-3 years, when they deploy a
new version of ofbiz, and suddenly their code stops working.
