Note on "unchecked or unsafe operation" Warnings

As explained in chapter 3, I have not used J2SE 5.0's type-safe 
collections, so that this code will compile in early versions of
J2SE (e.g. version 1.4).

The warning messages are always related to my use of collections
(e.g. ArrayList) without specifying a type for the objects they will
contain at run time.

No. of Warnings generated in J2SE 5.0 for the examples:
/LoadersTests: 16
