syntax

I have heard that closures could be introduced in the next Java standard that is scheduled to be released somewhere around next summer.

What would this syntax look like?

I read somewhere that introducing closures in java is a bigger change than generic was in java 5. Is this true? pros and cons?

(By now we definitely know that closures not will be included in the next Java release)

OR
