Re: [platform-ui-dev] Updating JFace version ID
Jface has a lot of problems in its API and would take the possibility to use the generification as an option to fix all the API problems we have Object-arrays as returns, virtual API is less than good (it was the developed without really understanding swt.virtual) and finally we cloud think how the API would look like in a java8 style with SAM-Types,... .

I really don't think you can generify IStructuredContentProvider#getElements(Object): Object[].

Because of all those reasons i think it would be much wiser to open up a new namespace and add generics there and fix the JFace API in one go.

Thanks everyone,

Just a clarification, the root of the issue is the Generic version of ArrayContentProvider, sorry about my first example.
Since ArrayContentProvider needs to know what class it is holding, there's a new constructor and method to handle it:
- The non-abstract method org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ArrayContentProvider.getInstance(Class<E>) has been added
- The constructor org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ArrayContentProvider.ArrayContentProvider(Class<E>) has been added

We didn't change raw-type methods so I think we won't have any problems but warnings in using a 3.11 version.

Ok, so my argument about using older version wasn't good ;)
I don't find it's fair to split or slow down JFace development because some adopters won't be happy to see new warnings. Projects who don't want to adapt and use generics on JFace APIs could simply disable the warnings.
