Java 6 update 10

The upcoming Java 6 update 10 isn't just a point release - it adds a lot of new features:
  • More modular JRE downloads: if you don't need the entire JRE feature set in your app, you can break it down to just the pieces you need.
  • A new Look&Feel module called Nimbus. Unlike Metal, it looks nice.
  • Much, much better startup performance, which has been my longest standing complaint about the platform.

Finally, a release to get excited about!
