Hi,
What is really annoying is when classes (like awt...GeneralPath) are
declared final and can't be usefully extended. Sun please note
Regards
Mike

Subject: [JAVA3D] why isn't 'final' more popular?
Hi,
This is more a general java programming question, but here goes:
The 'const' keyword in C++ is really useful, as it allows the compiler to
make some serious optimizations and helps detect bugs at compile-time.
The more-or-less Java equivalent is 'final'. Yet, in almost all the
examples that I see, 'final' is nowhere to be found. Why? Doesn't the
compiler do any optimization with 'final' objects?
Thanks
Jimmy
