[jira] Commented: (COLLECTIONS-110) [collections] Support
parametized classes with commons.collections.

If they only renamed org.apache.commons.collections to net.sf.collections15, that would still be manageable. However, what I was pointing to is, for example, that all predicates were moved from ...functors package under net.sf.collections15.functors.predicate package. Also, some new classes were introduced (e.g. AbstractPredicateDecorator, although in my opinion it's well justified, because it reduces code duplication). Such divergence will make propagation of changes/fixes from "classic" collections much more difficult.
