Re: Warnings and collections

I'm picking up a project I last worked on about a year, and one JDK

I just did a rebuild, and got 100 "Type safety" warnings. It used
to be warning-free.

I can't offer alternative technical solutions. I doubt if there are any
(though Mike's ingenious idea comes close). Welcome to the wonderful world of
generics make-work !

Is it possible to split your stuff up so that you can compile some
sub-components with 1.4 settings, while continuing to work on other parts with
a 1.5 compiler ?

If not, or to the extent that is is not, then I think I'd just [sigh deeply
and] accept the hit. Better to get it over with now, rather than having it
hanging around irritating me every time I think about it... It'd be a chance
to do some code-cleaning too, so it might not be a /total/ waste of time.

This is what we get for using a language with a fashion-lead design process.
