<Swing Dev> [PATCH] 6179357: Generics: JList

[Pavel Porvatov]

Hi Florian,

Thanks! I will continue work with your fix tomorrow.
> Hi Pavel,
>
> here are some jtreg tests, which test the signatures of the changed API (raw & generic calls).
>
> Note that, of course, the generic tests won't even compile before the generic JList patch is 
> applied. So, if you care, you could: 
> - remove the generic tests (should be simple)
> - run the test with the unpatched version
> - check them in
> - upgrade the test along with the JList patch
> - run them again
> - check them both in
>
> Please also  check the license header and the test annotations.

Ok, I'll do it.

Regards, Pavel.
