Maybe, the cost to change it would be too high and that's it. I don't think that the current solution is as bad as Bob says. Maybe, there's no many problems where generics are so useful (I think collections cover the majority but I may be wrong). I hope Oracle will invest massively in Java, but I don't know whether they want to postpone the release of JDK7. But, they can be ambitious with the JDK8 :-). Thank you for your comment.

Could the Oracle aqcuisition postpone the release of JDK 7 long enough to provide enough time to fix this? So why dont we fix it then?

Its a bogus implemenation and the "complexity" argument is an apology. The implementation of Java generics assures that noone will use them for anything but collections cast reducing.
