From reading back through this list it appears as though there are some fairly simple fixes to make Jython work with JDK 1.5, what I was wondering is how jython, either the current one of the upcoming 2.2 release, will interact with Java generics? =20 My impression is that Java generics are effectively a compile-time feature as opposed to a run time one, does this mean that Jython effectively ignores the generic interface and just uses reflection to find the right interface? Do any of you expect there to be problems here? =20 Sorry for the ignorance implicit in this question, I've not had time to use the 1.5 beta yet, but we use Jython a lot and I'd like to be prepared for any issues that might arise when we look towards upgrading. =20 Guy =20 --=20 "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

Hi Guy, > I've not had time to use the 1.5 beta yet, It's cool, expecially the new metal look which is called ocean now. > but we use Jython a lot and I'd like to be prepared for any > issues that might arise when we look towards upgrading. At least i should not upgrade until you impicitly knows that jython is compatible, cause 1.5 uses the enum keyword, and that's the first issue you'll get. I have mailed a dozen of mails to various developers and members of the jython team to join and fix the enum problem, but despite nobody ever answered my mail. Whereas i can take the conclusion that the project is almost bleading dead, and that's a pitty. It should be nice however if they simply reacted with "give us a break and back off." but even that wasn't happening, so i merely do not know what to think about that all. Best Regards, Patrick |
