Java 7 to be released

Java 7Java being one of the most flexible languages has always been a boon to programmers. Now, good news for all developers, Java is set to release its next version-Java 7.It is said to be released in the latter half of 2010.Of course it’s a hard waiting, still something is going to turn around much more worthy. They have announced a few new features that one can expect in this release. I have listed out some here.

  • Underscores in numeric literals

int one_thousand = 1_000;

  • Automated resource management

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path)) {

return br.readLine();}

  • Switch with strings

switch(p){

Case “dog”:

func ();

Case “cat”:

func ();}

  • Language support for collections

List<String> list = ["item"];

String item = list[0];

Set<String> set = {"item"};

  • Binary literals

int binary = 0b1001_1001;

  • Simplified Varargs method invocation

This is the list of completed features. Much more are yet to come.
