how to handle raw type warnings

[taher]

Hi Everyone,

Right now, we have 528 warnings on trunk out of which 238 are about raw types and 118 never used imports. So we can already eliminate most of the warning quite quickly.

Before I issue a JIRA and submit patches, I would like to first know what is the standard in here with respect to generics? Do you prefer to avoid generics and just suppress warnings everywhere or do you actually want to apply them? And what should we do about code receiving mixed object types to a generic collection?

We prefer to apply them, for collections have a look at UtilGenerics.java
