I've been living under a rock(1) and haven't heard about all those new additions in Java 7: > The additions with this release are useful, for example Try with resources – having closable resources handled automatically from try blocks, Strings in switch statements, multicatch for Exceptions and the ‘<>‘ operator for working with generics.
