he long-awaited Java SE 6 is upon us. This latest version of the Java SE environment brings a number of new features and enhancements, such as integrated support for scripting languages and Web services, improved JDBC features, and an integrated Derby database (in the SDK release), as well as some nice management features and enhanced performance.
Writing a single article that details all the additional features and enhancements would be a difficult proposition. Instead, this article just highlights a few of my personal favorites in enough detail to be useful. In particular, it examines each of the following features in turn:
Scripting language support
JDBC 4 support
Monitoring and management
File system management
