A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST : The for-each-loop currently only supports arrays and instances of Iterable. There's no reason, why it shouldn't also support the Iterator itself directly. JUSTIFICATION : It can be nasty and expensive to wrap an existing iterator with a dummy iterable just to use the nice and handy for each loop. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - Iterator it = ...; for ( Object o : it ) { } CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND : DummyIterable itbl = new DummyIterable( it ); for ( Object o : itbl ) { } // or: while ( it.hasNext() ) { Object o = it.next(); }
