My previous post was reasonably popular so I decided to follow-up with some more stupid Java tricks. It should go without saying that you shouldn’t use these techniques in any serious code, unless of course your objective is to write unmaintainable code. It was pointed out to me by a couple of people that the puzzle I posed previously is also in Josh Bloch and Neal Gafter’s excellent Java Puzzlers book. If you are interested in all of the ugly corners of the Java platform, this book is well worth buying.
