Java 1.5: New Language Features by example

J2gEEk has a great, distilled version of the Java 1.5 features – such as

  • Generics

  • Enhanced for Loop

  • Autoboxing/unboxing (automatic Primitive<->Wrapper conversion)

  • Typesafe enums

  • Static import

  • Metadata

I am just wondering if this or the AOP amazes me more… hmmm – I guess the later…
