Note that classpath-generics does have support for this in Thread and
ThreadGroup. It could probably be ported to the main branch since it
doesn't need any additional 1.5 language features as far as I can see.

Another option of course is running josm against jamvm and
classpath-generics, but I believe classpath-generics hasn't been
packaged for Debian yet.
