As one of the guilty party, I'm sorry too.

And I have a sad story.

I was the host for the Silicon Valley Java Users Group last week,
and I noticed that one of the presenters was using eclipse with
JDK 5.  I gently teased him about not having upgraded to JDK 6 yet,
but he said his work project would not compile under JDK 6,
so he was "stuck" on JDK 5.  He demoed an attempt to switch
to compiling with JDK 6, and yup, there was invokeAll in the
list of compile errors.
