wierd java syntax encountered

[redsss]

I downloaded some java code which contained a line like so:

for (MidiSynthListener t : c){

Compiling gave me the following error:
MidiSynth.java:182: illegal start of expression

Any idea what this is about? I think the code is for java 1.5 (not sure if its backwards compatable), whereas my sdk is 1.4.2, would that possibly be the problem?

In short, yes it's the new enhanced for loop in J2SE5.0. c is a collection containing MidiSynthListener objects. The loop will iterate over the collection c giving you the objects in the iteration in the t instance variable.

for (MidiSynthListener t : c){

From what I've read of the new Beta, and the comment above... That means this would read as:

for( int i = 0; i < c.size(); ++i)
{
   MidiSynthListener t = (MidiSynthListener)c.getAt(i);

yes? no?
