Thanks for the article. Just one pedantic point - in your final example you're using static inner classes not anonymous inner classes. They have names - FirstNameComparator and LastNameComparator! Damian

  The article is right.
  
  FirstNameComparator and LastNameComparator are static attributes. Anonymous class is:
  
  new Comparator() {...}

  Being even more pedantic:
  Following the java naming conventions, these two (static) members should start with a lowercase. Perhaps this is what produced some confusion: these are no classnames!
  The proof that these classes are anonymous: compilation of the Person class also produces the two files: Person$1.class and Person$2.class.
