Hi Steven,

thanks for your elaborte answer.

I see, I didn't know. I wished Sun/Oracle had made this more clear ...

Well, JDK8 lambdas how they must be called then do at least reduce the amount of boilerplate code ...
 
Anyhow, this news does really put a smile on my face. Guess it's really time to look for another JVM-based language like Groovy or Scala ;-).
