[edit] Semantics and BNF grammar

Anybody reading this article could be forgiven for thinking that Java did not include any semantic requirements (ie, the article reads like everything is specified in the syntax).

This article could do with a major rewrite that separated out the lexical/syntax/semantic issues. And come on guys, an article on syntax that fails to list at least a few production from the BNF grammar :-O.

Come to think about it, the problem is not the content but the title. The title "A brief introduction to some Java features" is closer to what the text is about. Derek farn 15:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Java 5 features

This article does not cover Java annotations or generic/parameterized types. Mike Dillon 15:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book References

Herb Schildt is widely regarded as being one of the worst technical authors around[1]. Should we really be referencing one of his books at the bottom of the article - especially since theres no shortage of other books on Java. 82.71.7.193 22:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Operator precedence needed

I don't have time at the moment, but the article should indicate the operator precedence and discuss operator precedence. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 20:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why did somebody delete the chinese java example?

My theory is that some overzealous editor saw the Chinese characters and decided to translate for us, without realizing they were intentional. I restored them. --Max Talk (add) 01:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] things needed
