Tutorial: Exploring the syntax in the JDK1.5 early access compiler

This is attempt to document the syntax available in the current JDK1.5 early access compiler (2_2-ea). The exact syntax is interesting to certain groups of people (IDE writers, Java language tool producers, emacs/jedit-mode authors, etc.).

Tutorial Details:

Having access to the syntax is useful so these groups can start implementing Java language tools before the JDK 1.5 betas start arriving. the syntax is still to much in flux. Each JDK1.5 early-access compiler has made many changes to the previous, and the current is in fact quite different to the original syntaxes outlined JSR 14 and JSR 201.
Autoboxing
For the most part, autoboxing is incomplete in 2_2. This comment is from the CHANGES file:

Boxing and unboxing conversions are currently only implemented as argument conversions. It is almost certain that this is not what the JSR 201 expert group will specify more guidance from JSR 201, we will update the prototype.
