Support for generics

[Nathan Maves]

Since apple is taking then sweet time I just got Java 1.5.  I am  
diving in head first but I am curious about what the plans for  
Generics are.

Will I batis support them?
Could there be a way to specify the list type instead of Object?
i.e.
return a List<Student> back based on the result class of the query?
