I have been reading about Java 1.7. There are articles about what's new,I have read them and compromised to write the language changes with examples.
So the normal developer can understand the changes easily by examples.Here I am mainly focusing on language changes I have taken these language changes from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_7_.28July_28.2C_2011.29. You can see all other changes here.
Language Changes
- Strings in switch
- Automatic resource management in try-statement
- Improved type inference for generic instance creation, aka the diamond operator <>
- Language Support for Collections.
- Binary integer literals
- Allowing underscores in numeric literals
- Catching multiple exception types and re throwing exceptions with improved type checking
There is a list of other features available on the OpenJDK 7 features page.
