Re: [hibernate-dev] Using raw vs. wildcard types

IMO there was a phase where wildcard types where used everywhere, with little or no use. In the contrary, in some cases they imo obfuscate the code. Take ValidatorImpl for example. By now we reached some sort of balance, but there was a time where we used wildcards left right and centre. It made the code harder to read and often we needed a cast somewhere anyways. —Hardy
