Hello,
It seems to me that it could be very useful to integrate AJDT and generics into 
the 2.1  release as part of the JDT in order to counter .NET initiative. 
Actually I think that Java must evolves drastically to face the .NET framework, 
and especially in :
- simplifying the libraries
- improving virtual machine performances
- adding new inovative concepts in the language 
I know that this is more the Sun process to provide us with such things. 
Nevertheless I believe that IBM/OTI can influence the process by providing and 
populating new libraries(SWT, ...), and concepts(aspects, and generics for 
instance)... 
best regards
Xavier

I suspect this one got addressed in AJDT space when adopting JDT 3.1.

Support for generics is being added in AspectJ 5...

Closing this enhancement request out. The AspectJ 5 M3 build has full generic support and AJDT 1.3 
incorporates this. We got there in the end ;)
