Exploring Java 7 (reprise)

Due to the virus hitting my laptop near the beginning of last month's meeting, I will reprise the exploration of Java 7's new features which are as follows:
  • Binary Literals
  • Underscores in Numeric Literals
  • Strings in switch Statements
  • Type Inference for Generic Instance Creation
  • Improved Compiler Warnings and Errors When Using Non-Reifiable Formal Parameters with Varargs Methods
  • The try-with-resources Statement
  • Catching Multiple Exception Types and Rethrowing Exceptions with Improved Type Checking
Please bring your laptop if you would like to share your new Java 7 code.
