So you like living on the bleeding edge and want to learn about Java 6, aka Mustang.
Welcome. What you hold in your hands is a look at the newest features of the early access
version of Mustang. Working through the early access releases from Sun, I’ve painfully
struggled through the weekly drops and demonstrated the latest feature set to help you
decide when or if it is time to move to Java 6. OK, maybe it wasn’t that painful. In any
case, many of these new features make the transition from Java 5 (or earlier) to Java 6
the obvious choice.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for you if you like diving headfirst into software that isn’t ready yet, or at least
wasn’t when the book was written. While writing the material for the book, I assumed
that you, the reader, are a competent Java 5 developer. Typically, developers of earlier versions
of Java should do fine, though I don’t go into too many details for features added
with Java 5, like the enhanced for loop or generics. I just use them. |
