Major Description
It is obvious that the Jakarta project is reluctant in starting to use the 'new' (how old is it by now?) generics feature of Java. Nevertheless some other people would like to see it incorporated in the commons projects.
I adapted commons Lang to usee generics. Took me about an afternoon. Would be nice if something is done with it, except for only me using it in my projects.
Some stuff will have to be changed to conform to guidelines and stuff.
