[jira] Commented: (LANG-336) Finally start using generics.

["Jörg Gottschling (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12536500 ] 

Jörg Gottschling commented on LANG-336:
---------------------------------------

The implementation is not complete. For example defaultIfNull(Object, Object) : Object should also be generic. Take a look at LANG-358. I think there are some more methods which can be "generified".

> It is obvious that the Jakarta  project is reluctant in starting to use the 'new' (how old is it by now?) generics feature of Java.  Nevertheless some other people would like to see it incorporated in the commons projects.
> I adapted commons Lang to usee generics.  Took me about an afternoon.  Would be nice if something is done with it, except for only me using it in my projects.
> Some stuff will have to be changed to conform to guidelines and stuff.
