| This comprehensive guide shows you how to master the most important changes to Java since it was first released. Generics and the greatly expanded collection libraries have tremendously increased the power of Java 5 and Java 6. But they have also confused many developers who haven't known how to take advantage of these new features.

Other new features: boxing and unboxing, foreach loops, varargs
-
Subtyping and wildcards
-
Evolution not revolution: generic libraries with legacy clients and generic clients with legacy libraries
-
Generics and reflection
-
Design patterns for generics
-
Sets, Queues, Lists, Maps, and their implementations
