Sun to Add Variance to Java in 1.5?

Posted by Hemos on from the grow-the-coffee dept.

Ahe writes "I have been working on a joint project between Sun Microsystems, The University of Aarhus, and The Alexandra Institute. As you might know, Sun has for long been commited to adding generics to Java. Our project was to extend this with variance annotations for more flexible typing of parameterized classes and arrays. Recently Sun has released the project result as a new prototype with variance. If you like variance, please vote for this bug."

    I assume the correct term is Variants. I realize this is "leading edge" of java development, but are there any links that don't require being a member of the Java Development Consortium?

    Now I have to wipe clean my keyboard, mouse, and work desktop machine 'cause you made me laugh while drinking my sugary black tea.

    It's confusing, yes, but... it's not my fault. I just tried to make it more or less more more or less confusing!! :-)

    bye
