J2SE 5.0 released
Sun announced the release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0.
Most of the new features that are interesting from a language design perspective were discussed here in the past. These include generics, autoboxing/unboxing, metadata and typesafe enums. We also discussed some of the new libraries and APIs. I can understand how Gosling is feeling right now: I wouldn't feel comfortable being responsible for a language without generics... What's next for Java? The new release model is explained here. The general design philosophy here. |
