I really haven’t used this blog for tech stuff lately, but I really have to rave about the newly announced Java 6 release. This is a huge release for the Java community, not only is it the first release fostered from community input, but it contains some huge advances in services that the JVM offers developers.
Once huge thing is scripting. I’ve used scripting engines such as Groovy and found them very useful in real-world senarios. Especially when you need to provide custom functionality to an out-of-the-box software package why not include a custom script rather than creating a special build for a customer. Now you get all of this for free just by using Java 6, awesome!
