Hi,

In the SCJP 1.5 Kathy Sierra Book (Page 682, Chapter 9, Threads) , I find in the exam watch box, the following



which is kind of misleading as it is shown that Interface is being instantiated using a new keyword.

Is nt it? May be somewhere am i wrong?

I would appreciate if anybody can clarify the above if am i wrong or it is really given wrongly.

Thanks,
Sat

It's called anonymous inner class, where you can implement an interface/extend a class without explicitly declaring a class .

Yes, the code is definitely incorrect. In fact, it's already mentioned in the K&B errata.
