Crynodeb:Featherweight Java is one of the most popular calculi which specify object-oriented programming features. It has been used as the basis for investigating novel language functionalities, as well as to specify and understand the formal properties of existing features for languages in this paradigm. However, when considering mechanized formalization, it is hard to find an implementation for languages with complex structures and binding mechanisms as Featherweight Java. In this paper we formalize Featherweight Java, implementing the static and dynamic semantics in Agda, and proving the main safety properties for this calculus.
