Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Add type information to IServiceLocator.g

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Should have been:

So instead of:

IContextService contextService = (IContextService) locator.getService(IContextService.class); 

you can simply write

IContextService contextService = locator.getService(IContextService.class)

Thanks to Gunnar for pointing that out.

FYI - Early in the development of M2 I plan to add the type information to IServiceLocator.getService. This is a tiny change but might cause "unnecessary cast"  warning message in your code if use use that interface.  

So instead ofcontextService = locator.getService(IContextService.class) you can simply write

contextService = (IContextService) locator.getService(IContextService.class);
