[news.eclipse.technology.ecp] Re: What's the project status?

[Wendell Beckwith <wbeckwith@xxxxxxxxx>]

Early last week and today I got time to dig into the core plugin and in 
an effort to understand what you all had done I started a new plugin and 
started rewriting it.  There are serveral inconsistencies where some 
interfaces begun with an 'I' and some didn't among other things.  And 
from having reimplemented nearly half the core plugin I truly question 
the utility of using generics in the core.  If you review the pdfs @ 
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/7202, you can see the almost utility 
of generics.  Our current code is java 5 so we use java 5 features, but 
generics really complicates the code more than it solves.  For my team 
the rule is that generics can be used in our own code internally but no 
generics are allowed in API classes that end users would see.
