More on the new Java features: JavaBoutique

Thu, 02/19/2004 - 10:23 — charlie.collins

The new main features on the way (and already available in 1.5 beta, Tiger) are:

  • An enhanced "for loop" that would allow easier
    iteration over collections.
  • An automatic conversion mechanism to convert primitive
    types to their corresponding wrappers and vice versa.
  • A new syntax for an enumerated type
  • A static import.
  • Variable-Arity Methods.

The linked article elaborates on the features.   Java Language Enhancements: JavaBoutique

There are of course more new features as well. The generics thing is really cool for example and not mentioned by JavaBoutique.
