Looks like Sun becomes more and more stupid.
Instead of method referenced they added inner classes.
And, needed to generate them at runtime, they didn't fix
the situation, but added ability to generate wrapper classes
at runtime. :-( Did you see their example?
And where are generic types and work-by-contract - most
voited RFEs?
