Daniel Golesny commented on COLLECTIONS-110:
--------------------------------------------

I like generics - it's sometimes hell (on implementation side), but much better than without and nice at users side. We (at work) need collections with generics!
We tried the collections-fork, but they changed the package-names, so we took this an refactored the packages changes back to original.

I would like to help coding! I'm checking out the jdk5-branch currently, hey that looks good ... I'll test it.
Just tell me, if I can help ..

> It's time to create a parallel version of commons.collections to support 
> parametized classes of each container class and abstract class.  It's not that 
> hard.  There is a 23 PDF document on Sun Java website describing in detail how 
> it should be done and what to watch out for.
> I already converted a few classes from commons.collection privately for my own 
> needs.  Once you get the hang of it, it's a rather quick process.
> I am even willing to volunteer my time to do some more but I need the 
> collaboration of some of the original programmers to watch over things.
