Java Generics 2 - The restatement

I'm not satisfied with the clarity of my last post on generics. Languages should be strongly typed or not. Compromising typing in a strongly typed language leads to confusion and type abuse. The Java collection classes were such a compromise. As far as I'm concerned the 1.5 generics plug a major hole in the language. I am not that bothered about the added complexity as I do not anticipate actually writing any generic classes myself.
