Description Hendrik Still CLA 2013-07-30 14:44:10 EDT 
The Selection classes as part of the JFace Viewer should support Java Generics.
Comment 1 Jeanderson Candido CLA 2014-07-21 13:32:29 EDT 
Added generics support to IStructuredSelection, StructuredSelection, and ITreeSelection. In addition, Snippets 005, 022, and 053 were updated as well:

https://github.com/jeandersonbc/eclipse.platform.ui/commit/20f6894b9f190ee7c58341edeee0bc5cc22f69ab

PS.: Casting the selection is quite annoying and still doesn't help much client code:

IStructuredSelection<MyModel> selection = (IStructuredSelection<MyModel>) viewer.getSelection();
I think this is a little bit related to Bug 402439. I will think about improvements.
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2015-08-14 11:09:03 EDT 
Will be handled via Bug 402445

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 402445 ***
Comment 3 Christoph Laeubrich CLA 2021-01-25 07:09:25 EST 
Reopen to solve this particular issue "Add generics to IStructuredSelection" independent of any viewer changes or anything else towards "generics for JFace" improvements.
