Hi Adam,
Adam Rabung said the following on 11/25/10 04:57:
I would like to learn more about how the collection library will change
when lambdas are introduced in JDK 8. Specifically:
1. What methods are being considered? (ie, map, filter)
2. For a map-like method that can produce a collection of a different
type, what will the return type be? Will arrayList.map(str =>
str.length) return an ArrayList, or an Iterable?
Any info/links would be much appreciated. I'm sorry if this is the
wrong forum.
The best forum is unclear right at this point. At the moment JSR-335 has
just been proposed, to add closures, and it hopes to include
enhancements to core APIs such as collections.

Exactly what form that will take will be discussed by the expert group
and I would expect they will establish some kind of forum for public
discussion and comments.
So hold that thought.
