I was hoping someone could set me straight on this inheritance / abstract class question. (Courtesy of Bruce Eckels Thinking in Java, again).
I have a private abstract static class Tester as an inner class in my ListPerformance class. As another variable, I have an array of Tester objects which receieve new anonymous classes as parameters.
Since you cannot instantiate an abstract class, when I say new Tester() and implement the abstract method test() in these anonymous classes, does that mean I am extending the Tester class without using the keyword extends?
Thoughts appreciated.
