common-collections 4.1 is causing compilation issue when comparing BeanPredicate with EqualPredicate

Question

After upgrading commons-collection from 3.2.2 to 4.1, I am having issues with comparing collections for BeanPredicate and EqualsPredicate. BeanPredicate is from commons-beanutils jar and EqualsPredicate is from commons-collection.jar.

BeanPredicate namePredicate = new BeanPredicate(propertyName, new EqualPredicate("someString"));

As per Latest commons-collection jar 4.1 ,EqualsPredicate Constructor accepts parameterized type like

public EqualPredicate(T object)
{
 this(object, null);
}

not the object which was there in 3.2.2

public EqualPredicate(Object object)
{
this.iValue = object;
}

BeanPredicate has no parameterized type like <T> for its constructor thats why I am getting compilation problem and not able to build relation ship between these two predicates.I saw latest commons-beanUtils 1.9.3 BeanPredicate jar also there also BeanPredicate constructor is not parameterized. I tried giving type also but its not working.How to fix this issue any help would be appreciated.
