Description bugbridge 2006-06-20 12:45:56 UTC 
Description:
affects preferences + round trip, absent in buzz, coke_tpr2

the issue isn't clearly reported on swforums yet because of blocking bug 6286610,
but because Collection Override is highly required feature it should be enhanced
to support generics.

Evaluation:
As part of the Collection Override bug, I have already added in a flag for this.
Comment 1 Craig Conover 2006-08-02 18:36:18 UTC 
Work is progressing on this feature and on the bug to fix Collection Override by
making it an attribute/parameter specific property, rather than being a global
preference. The global preference will be used as a default for new attributes
and parameters. From there, the property will be updated if source code changes
are different than the property values.
Comment 2 Craig Conover 2006-09-20 00:43:41 UTC 
Setting status to REMIND. The live roundtrip is being disabled and so much of
this effort is obsolete. The actual work will only need to take place in the RE
transformation engine and the batch code generation.

This issue will be revisited when the roundtrip redesign work is completed.
Comment 3 Craig Conover 2006-10-11 20:40:14 UTC 
This issue should be addressed after Roundtrip Redesign is finished
Comment 4 Craig Conover 2006-10-26 17:24:32 UTC 
Just cleaned up the summary.
Comment 5 Craig Conover 2006-10-26 19:22:21 UTC 
This work has been completed. Awaiting a code review before checking in.
Comment 6 Craig Conover 2006-10-30 05:03:32 UTC 
Added a Global Preference 'Use Generics' preference to go with the Collection
Override preference
Comment 7 Sergey Petrov 2006-11-13 14:15:55 UTC 
verified from "options" point of view,preference exists and works in some cases,
another cases should be filed against code generation
