I still have doubts we should add generics to the current jface library

Wouldn't it be wiser to introduce a JFace2 which also would allow to
break the API and e.g. get away with
IStructuredContentProvider#getElements(Object inputElement) : Object[]

Those projects which really don't want warning could just set an upper-bound and keep on depending on jface <= 3.10. JFace doesn't seem to be a singleton bundle so it shouldn't be an issue.
