73 <p>Teams introduce a new variant of inheritance for contained role classes
74 (see <a href="s1.3.1.html"
75 title="&sect;1.3.1&nbsp;Acquisition and implicit inheritance of role classes"
76 class="sect">&sect;1.3.1</a> below).
77 Other properties of teams, which are defined in later sections, are:
78
79 </p>
80 <ul>
81 <li>Team activation (<a href="s5.html" title="&sect;5&nbsp;Team Activation" class="sect">&sect;5</a>)
82 </li>
83 <li>Abstractness and instantiation (<a href="s2.5.html" title="&sect;2.5&nbsp;Abstract Roles" class="sect">&sect;2.5</a>)
84 </li>
85 <li>Declared lifting in team methods (<a href="s2.3.2.html" title="&sect;2.3.2&nbsp;Declared lifting" class="sect">&sect;2.3.2</a>)
86 </li>
87 <li>Reflective functions defined in <code>org.objectteams.ITeam</code> (<a href="s6.1.html" title="&sect;6.1&nbsp;Reflection" class="sect">&sect;6.1</a>)
88 </li>
89 </ul>
90 <p>Apart from these differences, team classes are regular Java classes with
91 methods and fields, whose instances are regular Java objects.
