Sure it is, but Sun did not do it. In the end they resorted to adding a layer on top instead which is of course a lot easier. But I guess it depends on your definition on innovation, I also happen to believe the other popular approach (stuffing multi-lined DSL's inside Java annotations) is a misguided solution, but I've beat this drum before. /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
