Seeking explanation on the code below

Question

public void addListEntries(List<ListEntry> list) {
for(ListEntry entry: list) {
addListEntry(entry);
The above method is from a sample program on using Java DB in desktop application. I need sombody to help explain the following:
(1) addListEntry(List<ListEntry> list)
the use of angular brackets in the specification of function parameter is new to me.
(2) for(ListEntry entry: list)
the for statement seem to depart from the definition of for statement as defined as follows: for(initialization;condition;increment)
Thank you

Answer 1

Both of those are new features in Java 5 (aka 1.5.0). You should google for Generics and for-each respectively.
The first is a way to specify what type the content of a Collection is (among many other possibilities, but that's probably the most common use).
The for-each loop is basically just syntactic sugar.
