'''Java 1.5''' is scheduled for release in 2004; as of April 2004, the beta version is available. Like all versions of Java, it can be downloaded at no charge from Sun's website.

List<String> curses = new ArrayList<String>();
curses.add("foo");
curses.add("bar");
curses.add("snafu");
// The old iterator...
String result = "";
for (Iterator it = curses.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
result += (String)it.next();
}
assert result.equals("foobarsnafu");
// The new Java 1.5 iterator...
result = "";
for (String s: curses) { result += s; } // fits neatly on one line!
assert result.equals("foobarsnafu");
