Patricia, We agreed earlier that 1.5 is OK, I believe, so generics are OK. I humbly request that we do not yet move to requiring 1.6 (@Override on interface implementations is the one that always bites me). Maybe in 2011? Chris
-----Original Message----- From: Patricia Shanahan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 4:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Getting Started 1. Can River source code use all JDK 1.6 features? In particular, what should I do about generics? No generics, generics only in appropriate private data structures, or use generics wherever appropriate, including interfaces between modules? 2. How do people do revision control for work-in-progress? I like to check in early and often, so that I have a good change log and can do a lot of experiments, especially when performance tuning. 3. My preferred environment is a combination of Eclipse and Cygwin. Have others used that combination? If so, can I have a copy of the Eclipse editor set-up to get the right format, and also any Cygwin set-up? Thanks, Patricia
