Talk:Java syntax

Java syntax → Java programming language -- I just switched it; it had been pointing to what's now Curly bracket programming language. I don't think anyone's likely ever to use this redirect. Quuxplusone 21:06, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "Java syntax" gets about 60K web hits. I'd say "keep", lest someone start a new article. Noel (talk) 03:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Semantics and BNF grammar

Anybody reading this article could be forgiven for thinking that Java did not include any semantic requirements (ie, the article reads like everything is specified in the syntax).

This article could do with a major rewrite that separated out the lexical/syntax/semantic issues. And come on guys, an article on syntax that fails to list at least a few production from the BNF grammar :-O.

Come to think about it, the problem is not the content but the title. The title "A brief introduction to some Java features" is closer to what the text is about. Derek farn 15:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Java 5 features

This article does not cover Java annotations or generic/parameterized types. Mike Dillon 15:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Book References

Herb Schildt is widely regarded as being one of the worst technical authors around[1]. Should we really be referencing one of his books at the bottom of the article - especially since theres no shortage of other books on Java. 82.71.7.193 22:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Operator precedence needed

I don't have time at the moment, but the article should indicate the operator precedence and discuss operator precedence. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 20:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
