[jdom-interest] type safety: List<Element>

[Joseph Bowbeer]

Type safety of collections is one of the issues that came up in the
"Fast or Safe" and "children as List" discussions.

I want to point out that work is underway to add generic types to Java.
(I believe the Collections API was designed with this eventuality in
mind.)  So it's fairly likely that List<Element> will be available to
JDOM as a first-class type in future versions of Java.

Check out JSR #14 (jsr_014_gener.html)
