Description

The bridge was originally coded to the JDK1.4 standard. Since JSF1.2 requires JDK5, we should follow the JDK5 standards for speed and reliability. Most notibly:

• Specify generics wherever possible - especially in the ExternalContext implementations which use this by default
• Remove the SimpleStringBuilder class in impl and replace it's usage with StringBuilder
