Subject: [EXEC] generics for EnvironmentUtils 

I reverted the contentious generics change.

However, I'm not sure there really is a problem here.

Adding the "wrong" generics can only affect existing users that also
use generics, i.e. they must be using Java 1.5+

Now if a Java 5 client calls a non-generic library, they are going to
have to either suppress the warning, or decide what types to use.
Unless the Javadoc is clear on what is expected, then they would be
foolish to pick on any particular types.

Also the main issue - does it affect binary compatibility?
If not, then does it matter if the source needs changing?

Any example of the sort of code that might be affected by adding
generics to Exec?
