I've just converted over a project.... to 1.4-m3 from m1. I skipped m2 because of the drastic changes between 1, 2 and 3.
I must say, I think generics at a component level - when I initially started using it felt like unneeded overhead - but it became more and more useful. now that I've changed to 1.4-m3 - Many parts of the project start to feel like unneeded cast soup - even if it is just reimplementing "getModel or getModelObject" over and over. It's a change that I found a bit hard to visualise the impact until I made the switch. I must say m1 generics felt more powerful and appropriate for all the circumstances i've come across... with the exception of having to generify things like Label. Anyway, Thats my feedback after the switch. Timo Rantalaiho wrote: > > On Fri, 18 Jul 2008, Stefan Lindner wrote: >> Thank you all for your work on wicket!
