As far as verbosity and printf are concerned some of the new Java 5.0 features are designed to help:
// Import of static methods and fields
import static java.lang.System.out;
...
private void someFunction(String someVar) {
// New printf method
out.printf("Hello %s\n", someVar);
}
// Import of static methods and fields
import static java.lang.System.out;
...
private void someFunction(String someVar) {
out.printf("Hello %s\n", someVar);
}
