generics support

[Jochen Theodorou]

Hi all,

the compiler is now able to support most of the generics declaration
features. It is now possible to use generics in methods, fields and
class definitions using wildcards, lower and upper bounds. The
implementation might have several bugs, I tried to find them, but of
course I can't foresee all cases.

Things that are currently missing:
* covariant return types (might come soon)
* compile time checks for correct usage of the number of parameters
(might not yet be implemented as it requires java5 features)

have fun

bye blackdrag

Yeh definitely for those who want to use EJB3 style mappings instead
of GORM style mappings
