Fix Version/s: 3.0

Generics have already been implemented in trunk and many will be available in 3.0M3. This is ongoing work and more needs to be done over time, but a large part of this is complete.

> I realize that this would restrict functionality to Java 5+, but I still believe it would be a good option to have for the code generator in the modeler:
> Add, as an option, generic types to Lists in generated classes. It's quite annoying to have to cast types; much of my code looks like this:
> for(Object o : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
> TheTypeIWanted ttiw = (TheTypeIWanted) o;
> ...
> }
> With generics, it would be:
> for(TheTypeIWanted ttiw : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
> ...
> }
> It'd also be nice if the core libraries had generics. For example, "Object DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class, int)" could be changed to "T DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class<T>, int)" to avoid casting.
