Java Metadata and generics

Hi all,

Two questions:

1) Do you guys consider using JDK 1.5 meta data instead of the xml mapping document (or as an alternative)? That would be nice!

2) Do you plan to support generics? I know that Microsofts' ObjectSpaces will support that. Nice to have type-safe collections, you know!

Thanks.

Not *instead* of since some people don't write the POJO's first ;)

...but anyhows i'll bet that xdoclet will at sometime adapt the new metadata facility to do their stuff...

Regarding type safe collections.......we will probably get it........unless there is some weird constraint i haven't thought about ;)
