Need help about syntax please.

Hi. I just came from MIDP development so I'm quite new here. Please bear with my noviceness and my English language. T_T

Question:
final Shell s = Viewable(data)->();

What's this line supposed to mean? (there's no "->" in Java)

The above line is taken from this method in the GUI example bundled with the sdk.

void actionPerformed(Shell shell, Component source, int action)
{
switch(action)
{
case CMD_SELECT:
{
//Label from main menu was clicked, take
//function-reference and invoke it.
Object data = source.getData();
if (data != null) {
final Shell s = Viewable(data)->();

//If it returned a shell, push that shell
//to view stack.
if (s != null) {
pushShell(s);
}
}
}
break;

case CMD_BACK:
{
popShell(shell);
}
break;
}
}

I tried browsing basic helium syntax in wiki but found nothing about this.

Thanks in advance. =)
