Sun releases Java 6!

I checked out some of the new features and I am impressed. I really like to TrayIcon class.

Ooh, I'll have to check it out later.
Though, one has to wonder when Java is going to reach critical bloat-mass, and collapse into a black hole. |

It seems to be mainly an update to the Java standard library. No new language features, which is rather a shame, as Java's losing out to .NET in that regard.

Did they add the GPL license? I can't seem to find this on the website. Some would consider that a feature and it will definitely make it easier to distribute Java.

I thought I read somewhere that they were going to use GPL v3...
