Check this out -- this works with the latest prototype:
interface Extractor<T, U> {
public U get(T t);
}
class Arrays {
public <T, U extends Comparable<? super U>>
void sortBy(T[] array, Extractor<T, U> extractor) { ... }
}
String[] strings = ...
Arrays.sortBy(strings, String#length); // sort strings by length
Foo[] foos = ...
Arrays.sortBy(foos, Foo#getA); // sort by JavaBean property A
