Java 7 is here…..it’s about time
Finally after a long time Java 7 is finally here. It has many features.
The most interesting features in my opinion are:
- NIO 2, which is a real revolting to Java IO
- Syntax extensions: Automatic resource cleanup(instead of close in finally), String in switch, binary literals, literals separator and shorter generic write
- new Garbage Collector as default
You can download it from oracles download site for developer:

The default user download site java.com still points to Java 6.
