While it is true that the JDT team has implemented the Switch on String feature the support for Java 7 won't be before Eclipse 3.7.1.
Eclipse doesn't support yet compilation on JDK 7, for try the new feature you need to use NetBeans 7 or compile with standard javac compiler in the bundle of the JDK 7 by hand or with the help of an ant script.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
