Let me be more precise. /Closure/ is an informal word to describe a / lambda expression/, which is an expression defining a function value that may have /free variables/ (i.e., names that are not defined in the function), which are /bound/ to variables defined in the /lexical scope/. Lambdaj simply does not do this. "AdderOf" is an ordinary class, "add" is an ordinary method, and "first" is an ordinary field of that class. There is no expression in your example that defines a function referencing a variable from the lexically enclosing scope. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
