并不是一个真正的功能，但它让我笑，goto是一个保留词，除了提示javac戳你的眼睛什么也不做。只是想提醒你，你现在在天堂。

这是我的清单。

我最喜欢的(也是最可怕的)隐藏特性是，您可以从没有声明抛出任何东西的方法中抛出检查异常。

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

class Thrower {
    public static void spit(final Throwable exception) {
        class EvilThrower<T extends Throwable> {
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            private void sneakyThrow(Throwable exception) throws T {
                throw (T) exception;
            }
        }
        new EvilThrower<RuntimeException>().sneakyThrow(exception);
    }
}

public class ThrowerSample {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        Thrower.spit(new RemoteException("go unchecked!"));
    }
}

此外，你可能想知道你可以抛出'null'…

public static void main(String[] args) {
     throw null;
}

猜猜这打印了什么:

Long value = new Long(0);
System.out.println(value.equals(0));

猜猜这返回什么:

public int returnSomething() {
    try {
        throw new RuntimeException("foo!");
    } finally {
        return 0;
    }
}

优秀的开发人员不应该对上述情况感到惊讶。

在Java中，你可以用以下几种有效的方式来声明数组:

String[] strings = new String[] { "foo", "bar" };
// the above is equivalent to the following:
String[] strings = { "foo", "bar" };

所以下面的Java代码是完全有效的:

public class Foo {
    public void doSomething(String[] arg) {}

    public void example() {
        String[] strings = { "foo", "bar" };
        doSomething(strings);
    }
}

是否有任何有效的理由说明下面的代码不应该是有效的?

public class Foo {

    public void doSomething(String[] arg) {}

    public void example() {
        doSomething({ "foo", "bar" });
    }
}

我认为，上述语法可以有效地替代Java 5中引入的可变参数。并且，与之前允许的数组声明更加一致。

The power you can have over the garbage collector and how it manages object collection is very powerful, especially for long-running and time-sensitive applications. It starts with weak, soft, and phantom references in the java.lang.ref package. Take a look at those, especially for building caches (there is a java.util.WeakHashMap already). Now dig a little deeper into the ReferenceQueue and you'll start having even more control. Finally grab the docs on the garbage collector itself and you'll be able to control how often it runs, sizes of different collection areas, and the types of algorithms used (for Java 5 see http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html).

值:

new URL("http://www.yahoo.com").equals(new URL("http://209.191.93.52"))

是真的。

泛型方法的类型参数可以像这样显式指定:

Collections.<String,Integer>emptyMap()

来自Java 6的注释处理API看起来非常适合代码生成和静态代码验证。
