<AWT Dev> [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [8] Review request for 8007295: Reduce number of warnings in awt classes

[Jim Graham]

This bug has probably already been committed, but I am wondering if 
there was a reason why the generics identifiers were left as "Object" 
rather than using the known key and value types?

For example, RenderingHints.Key.identityMap should really be
     HashMap<Key, WeakReference<Key>>

RenderingHints.hintmap should also probably be
     HashMap<Key, Object>
but it looks like the API unfortunately had "Object" all over it with 
explicit casts to Key.  Still, just because the public API has some type 
weaknesses, isn't it worthwhile to have our implementation be strongly 
typed?

Or is there a general "If you fix warnings by adding generics 
identifiers you should use the weakest generic types" rule in our 
warning-fixing tactics?
