There are some minor problems with them which should be gone in jse 6.0 (I hope). But aside from that, they are very useful. Generics are good, you haven't used Java very much if you don't like them.</p> Old Timer and Malcom, you are both wrong.

Fortunately I dont have to worry about Generics anytime soon, as it will be a couple of years before commercial application servers are verified against it. Anyway I would ban it in the coding standards anyway.

They are bug ridden and evil.
I will not use them.

I dread the day I have to debug someone else’s code with them in.

Explicit = good.
