Abstract: Traits have been proposed as a code reuse mechanism for dynamically typed languages. The paper addresses the issues that come up when introducing traits in statically typed languages, such as Java. These issues can be resolved by introducing generic traits, but at some cost. The paper studies three different generic mechanisms: Java Generics, Templates and Virtual Types, by implementing them all by a preprocessor to Java. The three different approaches are tested by a number of examples. Based on this, the paper gives a first answer to which of the three generic mechanisms that are most adequate.
