Re: [cdt-dev] FFS update and Java 5

[Mike Kucera <mkucera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that Java 5 is enabled in the core I'm assuming we will probably slowly
start converting the code to use generics. I have enabled generics for the
CharArrayMap class, which is intended as a replacement for CharArrayIntMap
and CharArrayObjectMap (but not a drop-in replacement, the interface is
different and is closer in convention to what you would find in the java
collections library). This class has an extensive test suite and performs
just as fast (its just a simple facade for a HashMap). So I just want to
encourage that everyone consider using CharArrayMap for its nicer interface
and to avoid the casting needed with CharArrayObjectMap going forward.

Also, I've turned on Java 5 for cdt.core.tests.

Hey gang,

First, I turned on Java 5 for cdt.core. I'm not sure everyone will agree to
that at this time, but I figure we'd better do it sooner than later. Feel
free to comment and we can turn it back.

I also have more of my Flexible File System working. Unfortunately, I ran
into my first IPath versus URI problem almost right away in the
CDTCommonProjectWizard which uses IPath for the project path where it
really needs to be a URI or an IFileStore. At any rate, I need to start
digging into this before I can even create a project.
