Java Generics

[effiban]

EA 7 does not provide full support for Java generics. There are workarounds, for example in the following link:

I suggest that a more comprehensive and intuitive solution be implemented for the next release.

I think it is very important if you plan EA to be used for full round trip programing.

That's right - and even if you only want to import from existing code to a diagram, you would still lose some generics information in the current version.

I would like to point out one more issue as well, which is not Java-specific but relates to templates in general: The template arguments of a class or interface are not shown in the diagram (only template parameters are). This is important information even at the design level, and I suggest it be added to the display as well.

Thanks
