Hi,
Marcelo and I have proposed two long talks related to our activities of
exploiting Java 5.0 in EMF 2.3.
This proposal for the modeling track will explore the changes we are
making (at this very moment and will commit for M4) to model generics
directly in Ecore:
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3845
That's right, very soon you'll be able to model generics directly in
Ecore! ;-)
This other proposal for the Java track will detail our experiences with
Java 5.0 in general:
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3812
If you are interested in these things, please vote. I've been told that
voting can continue until the selections are made, so if you have
trouble voting after today's submission deadline please let us know and
we'll help ensure that the polls are kept open...

One thing that I'd like to do with EMF/java5 is to be able to specify a

But I think what might be the most desired thing I'd like to see (as has
already been mentioned) is typesafe lists. No more Eclipse compiler warnings
in the generated code! Ahh, I'm looking forward to it. I'm confused, though-
are we voting for features we want implemented, or are we voting for java5
support in general? Or are we voting for this to be presented at EclipseCon?
Good work, guys, I'm glad that this is on the table. (My boss will be glad
too.)

Liam,
I'm just asking people interested in the talks to vote for them. It
makes me feel like a politician though. ;-)
I want to be sure I understand the return type issue. You can already
do that for your EOperations but now Java will actually compile them.
We still don't plan to support derived features directly in EMF,
although UML does support that type of thing (which seems to be
increasingly popular with folks) so it may specialize that support now
that generics are available. Note that such specializing of the return
type would only be possible for single valued features because EList<X>
is not related to EList<Y> no matter now X and Y are related.
You can of course vote for bugzillas as well, but why waste a vote on
the Java 5.0 support when we are already doing it. ;-)
