What's New in Java 7?
|
This book is a good idea as a quick survey of new features in Java 7,
but it is missing a crucial piece. I don't mind that the author did not
cover all features in in the survey, but it would have been useful for
me see a complete list of other enhancements that were included in Java
7. This way I would know if I was interested in finding more details
on something else. I looked up the release notes on the Oracle web site
and including an index below in case someone will find that information
useful for reference as well. For example, I have to deal with the
mixed environment which has Java and non-Java languages, and there are
enhancements in that area that are potentially critical for my needs:
the Garbage-First Collector and JVM support for non-Java languages. I
would have liked to see all areas mentioned, even if there were no
additional details.
The areas the author covers are easy to understand and give you just enough details to know if these features are going to be useful/relevant.
