Well, I think the guys at Sun back then thought anonymous inner
class would get them around having to add closures to the
language. Maybe they thought they would get away with that quick
hack and later found out it only results in a lot of boilerplate
code. Then it turned out they have to put them in as every other
JVM language has closures baked in from the beginning...
