why we r not use pointers in corejava?..

Answer / arun

First you need to understand the concept of Pointer.
Pointer in C++, gives as reference to object from outside.
if we provide same thing in java, the concept of
Encapsulation will be violate. so java doesn't provide this
feature till 6.0 version. Recently Java added this feature
in java7.0. but they gave different name Clouser, which
give you pointer to function, as Callback in C...
