- The for-each loop can handle only one iteration variable.
- Nested iterations are allowed.
- Iterating over varargs. Java 5.0 now allows a variable number of arguments of a single type to be passed in as the last parameter to a method. The compiler collects these varargs parameters into an array of that type. The for-each loop can be used to iterated over the varargs.
- Do not modify the list during iteration
- When appropriate, implement java.util.RandomAccess to allow for compiler optimizations
- Consider returning an Iterable rather than a List
- Consider returning Iterable views rather than implementing Iterable
- Return zero length arrays or empty lists rather than nulls

The Java 5 for each loop
A new article on java.net, Nuances of Java 5.0 for-each loop, discusses the Java 5 for-each loop, in great detail. The article covers common programming errors when using the for-each loop, how the enhanced for-loop compares with the equivalent implementation with the regular for-loop, how to write new classes that can be used as targets of a for-each loop compiler optimizations of the for-each loop, and a lot more. Here is a list of the talking points:
