Chapter 1. What’s New in Java 7
A survey of important updates and changes in Java 7
There are a number of features in Java 7 that will please developers. Things such as strings in switch statements, multi-catch exception handling, try-with-resource statements, the new File System API, extensions of the JVM, support for dynamically-typed languages, the fork and join framework for task parallelism, and a few others will certainly be embraced by the community.
Below I outline the features and provide examples where appropriate. A zip file containing code snippets used in this post can be downloaded here.
