I had a project where a code generator inserts one interface statement - and that

we "backport" the Iterable interface?
I played a little with these... - build.xml - src\oata\Iterable.java - src\oata\MyClass.java
Nice, but not useful in ant core (kernel) until we move to using java 1.5+ as we would not be able to use java 1.5+ to create an ant distribution that can be used for java 1.4 and previous.
How about (in a java15 package), we have a class that uses reflection to look for the iterator() operator
Class IterateOver implements Iterable {
Object instance;
IterateOver(instance) {this.instance=instance}
public Iterator iterator() { Class clazz=instance.getClass(); Method method=clazz.getMethod("iterator"); return method.invoke(instance); }
}
you could then do (for e:new IterateOver(something));
not ideal, I admit. Oh, there is all that generic typing stuff too. sigh.
