Description
I realize that this would restrict functionality to Java 5+, but I still believe it would be a good option to have for the code generator in the modeler:
Add, as an option, generic types to Lists in generated classes. It's quite annoying to have to cast types; much of my code looks like this:
for(Object o : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
TheTypeIWanted ttiw = (TheTypeIWanted) o;
...
}
With generics, it would be:
for(TheTypeIWanted ttiw : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
...
}
It'd also be nice if the core libraries had generics. For example, "Object DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class, int)" could be changed to "T DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class<T>, int)" to avoid casting.
