You Won't Believe This, But The Arrow Operator Is Coming To Java 7

And it means something completely different

Yes, the -> operator. According to Danny Coward, Sun Java SE Platform Lead, Java 7 will use the arrow operator for Java Beans property access:

Danny Coward talk PDF (p.27): Reading JavaBeans properties 
a.setFoo(b.getFoo());
a->Foo = b->Foo;

What's wrong with using the good old dot?

Most of the stuff mentioned are nice and useful. I like the XML literal and the BigDecimal arithmetic operator overloading. The Swing simplification effort is long over due too.

Website Statistics

The topic drifted to website traffics in a meeting I'm in today, and I mentioned that according to my blog's log summary page, I've had more than one million hits so far this year. Well, according to the Fedora Core 3 built-in website statistics page, my website (the four static pages, some articles and the weblog) has reached just a little over two million hits, and 46 GB's worth of stuff has been downloaded. That's pretty amazing.
