Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0

Sun has released Java 2 Platform SE 5.0 last week. I am excited as I work in Java. I do hope to check it out soon whenever I get time. Key features include:

• New language updates: Metadata, Generics, Enumerated types, Autoboxing of primitive types
• New JVM Monitoring and Management API
• Improved out-of-box performance
• New (but compatible) default Java look and feel
