Description

The generated help mojo class generates List and ArrayList variables and parameters without generic collections. This causes compiler warnings for projects compiled with Java 5 or higher. It also causes warnings in IDEs.

Possibly an optional parameter like useJava5 in Modello Maven Plugin (http://modello.codehaus.org/modello-maven-plugin/java-mojo.html#useJava5) could be used to control generating the help mojo with generic collections.
