If it breaks backward compatibility, surely those who do not want to (or are unable to) change their code could continue to use the earlier versions.
That JDOM doesn't use generics has unfortunately become an argument against using JDOM.

Hi
Would there be any interest in doing a JDOM 2.0 targeting java 1.5+, but changing return types to use generics?
I'd be happy to produce some patches, they're pretty straightforward.
And I know I'd appreciate cleaning up some of code with better type checking.
Hi,
this topic has been around some time now. And the main concern was that this change would break backward compatibility. Beside that using generics would be great, as JAVA 5 itself is unsupported since 2009 now.
So if current code runs without changes: +1 from me.
regards,
Thomas
