Java SE 6 - Highlights of new features and enhancements

If you are new to Java, please refer my New to Java - Getting Started Guide post.

Being a java developer, one should know that no new language changes were introduced in Java SE 6. Most importantly, introduction of Scripting in Java Platform (JSR-223) had encouraged acceptance of other popular open-source languages on JVM runtime via scripting engine implementation of a given programming language. This specification also offers interoperability between Java and non-Java JVM languages (i.e. JavaScript, Groovy…).
