I was told there is a list somewhere out in the web that has all the things java can do. All the pre-installed stuff that you can use when you program with Java, I am pretty new at this.

Might want to keep in mind that its for version 1.4.1 of your java. The latest is 1.5. It really depends on what version you have, some method in certain classes might not work anymore, some might not even exist.

when did 1.5 come out?!?! I keep 1.4.1 bookmarked 'cuz that's whta i had till recently (apple's always a bit behind on these things). but most everything you code should function. I've never found something that hasn't worked yet...
thx though!

edit: all sun has up is 1.4.2 I think you're a bit confused... 1.4.2 should be the latest version & I know they're working on 2.0... but it shouldn't be out for quite awhile.

Java 1.5 is an alpha early access. http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyA...2sdk150_alpha/

A snippet of new features as taken from http://java.sun.com/features/2003/05/bloch_qa.html. :
Generics - Provides compile-time type safety for collections and eliminates the drudgery of casting.

Enhanced for loop - Eliminates the drudgery and error-proneness of iterators.

Autoboxing/unboxing - Eliminates the drudgery of manual conversion between primitive types (such as int) and wrapper types (such as Integer).

Typesafe enums - Provides all the well-known benefits of the Typesafe Enum pattern (Effective Java, Item 21) without the verbosity and the error-proneness.

Static import - Lets you avoid qualifying static members with class names, without the shortcomings of the Constant Interface antipattern (Effective Java, Item 17).

Metadata - Lets you avoid writing boilerplate code, by enabling tools to generate it from annotations in the source code. This leads to a "declarative" programming style where the programmer says what should be done and tools emit the code to do it.
