a superset of the Java 5 Generic Java language. 

Note that NextGen is a derivitive of the Java 5 compiler by Sun Microsystems.
You should not expect NextGen to be production quality, nor should you expect
future releases of NextGen to be compatible with this version. If you find 
problems with the NextGen platform, please report your findings by email to
