No, it's not possible. He probably confused it with method overloading.

Operator overloading is not supported in Java.
You may want to try Groovy, i have never used it before and i have no idea how it works.
Operator overloading has been criticized a lot because it allowed developers to give operators different functionality depending on the types of their operands. From my personal point of view there is no need to implement it in java. It is simply... too complicated and confusing.

We ain't got many rules 'round these parts, but we do got one. Please change your display name to comply with The JavaRanch Naming Policy.
I'm thinking that a few of the e's in your display name aren't sincere.
