What's New in Java 6
by Jason Hunter

The Java 6 (Mustang) release should make your life easier, for a change. It doesn't alter the core language like Java 5 did. It doesn't pack in so many sub-JSRs that you'll be overwhelmed by the amount you have to learn. Instead Java 6 adds several handy things that honestly should have been added before. Among the improvements we'll cover in this fast-paced class: * A new Console class * A real Compiler API * A GIF writer * Pluggable Locale data * Access to disk partition size data * Array reallocation * Low-level floating point functions * Reflective access to parameter names * Access to network interface details * Pluggable annotation processing * Improved class file format * Streaming XML with StAX * A new Scripting interface
