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

Yes, I combined your tests into one and it works. Unfortunately the fix 
will be delayed because internal approve of the fix is not finished yet 
(I was wrong when I wrote about approve completion, sorry)... I'll let 
you know when I commit your fix.

Regards, Pavel
