Well, my reply is a little off topic for this thread. But I followed through this thread of discussion, I just want to let you know that there is a now a better search tool for the technical discussions. Nabble has a large archive of many technical mailing lists, including for example, all Apache lists and Eclipse lists, check out All Apache: http://www.nabble.com/Apache-f90.html Tomcat: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-f303.html Eclipse: http://www.nabble.com/Eclipse-f2159.html Unlike a typical mailing list archive such as Gmane or mail-archive, where you can only search one list at a time, Nabble allows you to search all the lists within a project, for example, Tomcat has 2 lists, Eclipse has 30 lists, Apache has 300 lists. You don't have to go to each site to searrch each list, you can simply search from the Nabble software archive: http://www.nabble.com/Software-f94.html - then narrow the result by the projects. You can view the search result in the context of a thread of discussions instead of in an isolated post page. Even if you don't find an answer directly, you could at least find the people who have discussed the issue before, you can then reply or sent private emails to those users and hopefully they will respond like on this list. By the way, Nabble uses Apache Lucene for search, this means you have access to full set of query syntax such as wildcard search, fuzzy search, and grouping of search queries, etc. See this Lucense syntax page: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html You can design and enter a complex query string to pin-point your search on Nabble. In contrast, Google's search has to appeal to the non-technical majorities. -- Sent from the Tomcat - User forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-Generic-Types-support-in-Tomcat--t334942.html#a987796
