Rami Ojares commented on MNG-5979:
----------------------------------

Yes you are right.
I typed that wrongly in a hurry.
But the issue that I am really talking about remains.
Does it not?

Let me rephrase:
Set<Artifact> al = project.getPluginArtifacts();
will produce an error.
But this will not
Set al = project.getPluginArtifacts();

> Reading maven javadoc api it contains generic types.
> But when in my Mojo I try to use them the collections seem not to know anything about generics.
> Example:
> project.getPluginArtifacts() returns List not List<Artifacts>
> I can still cast the Objects from the list to Artifact type.
> But
> List<Artifact> al = project.getPluginArtifacts();
> will produce an error.
> I simply downladed compiled version of maven 3.3.9 from maven's own site.
