Closures in Java 7

Asked 2008-10-24T13:44:24.180

I have heard that closures could be introduced in the next Java standard that is scheduled to be released somewhere around next summer.

What would this syntax look like?

I read somewhere that introducing closures in java is a bigger change than generic was in java 5. Is this true? pros and cons?

(By now we definitely know that closures not will be included in the next Java release)

I think there is still a lot of debate going in with regards to what syntax will ultimately be used. I'd actually be pretty surprised if this does make it into Java 7 due to all of that.
