Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Got this heads up from slashdot. Here are some of the features implemented:
Draft specs for enumerations, autoboxing, enhanced for loop, static import are being made available concurrently with the release of this JSR.

Note that enumerations, autoboxing and the enhanced for loop (foreach) are some of the reasons that I like C# the language over java the language. There are a couple of more things in C# that are not in java, but I find it amusing that, for all the cries that C# was just copying java, that java is now in fact, copying C#.

The static import is kinda neat. In a nutshell you can do this:

import static Math.*;

and then you can write this in your code

int x = abs(y);

instead of

int x = Math.abs(y);

This is a code cleanup kinda thing, but I approve. Anyway, this should make for all sorts of fun flame wars in the future.   Slashdot article
