I've just read the explanation in a Tim's blog post comment. Oh, well,
generics definitely isn't easy to grasp...
I myself have observed that my (wicket) code is so much readable without
most generics declarations. Even when using components that do have models
(Textfield, for example) I didn't gain anything for adding the angle
brackets, since the models in general use reflection (PropertyModel,
CompoundPropertyModel, etc.), and don't make any use of the build-time
validation at all.
sigh...
