In Bitten by the class literal change in Tiger Michael Nascimento writes about the surprising impact of JDK5 changing the rules for Foo.class. As simple as that.
Amazing how such a small change can have ramifications. This is food for thought when making a "small change" as I often do while cleaning old code: How can it make a difference? should be asked as a real question, not as gesture to shrug off the nay-sayers.
May I follow my own advice!
