Although I'm not a Stephen, I'm also interested in contributing, if
the project is open to non-Stephens ;^).
I was looking at the generics branch of collections a few weeks ago,
and added generics to a few more of the classes. I just submitted a
Jira issue with these changes : https://is
Oh, ok. I do not have a say here, but this would be my preferred way.
I think the general redesign of the standard Java Collection makes it
necessary to rethink the commons collection idea from first
principles.
"What is missing in Java 5 Collections?" might be the guiding question.

A brand new implementation based on the same idea.

Hi Stephen (C)!
Could you explain what your understanding of a 'reboot' is? As opposed
to the port to generics?
Anyway, from what I see in my daily work 1.5 really is widely
distributed and safe to rely on. Commons Transaction 2.0 will
certainly require it.

Hi Stephen,
I think there's merit in simply porting generics to the current Commons
Collections 3.2 codebase, but I believe we could get better bang for our
buck by discussing how we might reboot Commons Collections. I would
suggest a moderately radical approach:

OK Stephens (and anyone else!),
I'm not in a position to just grant commit access (I wish I could, but
thats not the Apache way). However, I am willing to review and apply
patches to get generified collections off the ground.
We already have a generics branch which is intended to be a 'reboot'
Stephen C, if you're looking for volunteers you can count me in - although 3
Stephens working on the same code might get a bit complicated. :)

Hi, I'd like to help work on the generics stuff for collections, as I've
benefited in the past from it. Stephen (C), it looks like you're quite
busy and could use a hand, so let me know...
Cheers
