The FPUpdater tool is not intended for use on systems managed through auto-update as this will disable future auto-updates. We recommend that you wait until the next Critical Patch Update (CPU) when you can update your installation by going to http://java.com/latest .
(Whether you want auto-update is, I guess, a separate question, though not an insignificant one.)
They can't seem to get auto update working for Windows 64-bit JDK. Need to uninstall and install on every update. May be by JDK 8 or so we might have a chance of getting that.
It has been extremely well documented that closures are planned for Java 8. If you absolutely, positively can't wait, anonymous inner classes are your best work-around at the moment. However, it turns out you can, in fact, get by without closures.
Or is this just a thinly veiled attempt to insult the current state of Java? If so, it might be more productive to simply choose a different programming language that you like better.
Whoa! Slow down, buddy. Didn't mean to push your buttons there. You're right, I do get by just fine using inner classes, and will continue to do so. I was just wondering for the pure convenience of making code prettier.
