More detail on Closures in JDK 7
At Devoxx 2009, Mark Reinhold from Sun announced that it was time for closures in Java. This was a big surprise to everyone, and there was a bit of a vacuum as to what was announced. Firstly, Sun, via Mark, have chosen to accept the basic case for including closures in Java. By doing so, the debate now changes from whether to go ahead, to how to proceed. This is an important step. Secondly, what did Mark consider to be in and what out? Well, he indicated that non-local returns and the control-invocation statement were out of scope. There was also some indication that access to non-final variables may be out of scope (this is mainly because it raises nasty multi-threading Java Memory Model issues with local variables).
