I had my JAVA_HOME pointing to the first beta (duh). It works like a charm on beta2.

Thanks.

That is freaking out for me on 1.5 (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c).

It is happy with:

List list = Arrays.asList(new String[] {”Rod”, “James”, “Chris”});

but some reason it isn’t liking the varargs case.

AsListTest.java:10: asList(T[]) in java.util.Arrays cannot be applied to (jav
a.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String); no instance(s) of type variabl
e(s) T exist so that argument type java.lang.String conforms to formal parameter
type T[]
List list = Arrays.asList(”Rod”, “James”, “Chris”);

There is still a lot to learn about java.util package.

Dion is copying a collection example from James Groovy presentation:

List list = new java.util.ArrayList();
list.add( “Rod” ); list.add( “James” ); list.add( “Chris” );

In the contexts where James used it it is probably does not matters

Or maybe:

List list = Arrays.asList(”Rod”, “James”, “Chris”);

I hope I got that right… haven’t messed with generic functions in 1.5, and I don’t have 1.5 at hand to try it out :-)

And yes, I still call it “1.5″.
