Hi,
I've run across this post
( http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=bl9025%248ef%241%40onli ne.de&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain)
titled: "[ANN] IDE with support for upcoming Java 1.5 language features"
Excerpt:
[CodeGuide fully supports generic types as specified in JSR 14 and all
other language enhancements as specified in JSR 201: enums, varargs,
autoboxing, static imports and the enhanced for loop. Code completion,
compilation and refactorings are aware of the new features.
- Generify refactoring
The Generify refactoring is a powerfull tool which converts old
projects to make use of generic types. The generic parameter types
are infered by CodeGuide by analyzing the existing code of the
whole project. Generification affects variables, fields and classes.
]
Apparently somebody else is already committed to the idea of generics
and other features. Sadly, this feature is not committed on Eclipse's
3.0 plan (*). I think eclipse is leading in the area of Java IDEs and it
will be really sad to see it losing the lead.
If you want to see generics, enhanced for loops and more 1.5 features
vote for it here:

(*) eclipse plan as of October 4 -

The plan states this accurately we really want to have 1.5 support in 3.0.
We have reserved time to work on it. However, 1.5 isn't a fixed target and
we cannot commit to a moving target.
--erich
given that 1.5 isn't fully fixed
