We changed the following:
NodeList now is a 'resolved' generic:
public interface NodeList extends BridgeList<Node> {
in stead of what it was:
public interface NodeList<E extends Node> extends BridgeList<E> {
Cons of this change are:
- Lists which used to be extenions of NodeList, are not any more so:
for instance RelationList does _not_ extend NodeList. This is a backwards compatiblity issue.
Pros are:
- NodeList being a generic NodeList<Node> is silly. Remaining to use 'NodeList' is acceptable though, but automatic code refactoring, may cause expllit 'NodeList<Node>', which is avoided if NodeList has resolved generics.
Anyhow Nodelist is basicly discouraged in HEAD. You can use List<Node>, or if you need properties on the list, BridgeList<Node>. Since it still is valid that Node extends Relation, a RelationList _is_ a List<Node>.
In my humble personal opinion this makes all bridge-list interfaces a bit irrelevant and I don't really care whether the original 'pierre' (NodeList<E extends Node>) or the current 'nico' version (NodeList extends BridgeList<Node>) is chosen.
