Java Keywords:
abstract; boolean; break; byte; case; catch; char; class; const*; continue; default; do; double; else; extends; final; finally; float; for; goto*; if; implements; import; instanceof; int; interface; long; native; new; null; package; private; protected; public; return; short; static; super; switch; synchronized; this; throw; throws; transient; try; void; volatile; while; The words with asterisks are reserved and not currently used. Note that all of the keywords are in lowercase, thus for is a keyword but FOR is not. There is some debate as to if null is a keyword but I suggest that for the purposes of the exam you assume it is.
These have been taken directly from Marcus Green's tutorials, whick I have found to be a great help; it's compact, consice and informative. However, I have not heard of any new keywords (I'm pretty sure there aren't any). Hope this helps, Thomas

The jls mentions strictfp as a keyword. Some book also mentions widefp as a keyword.
My stuff tends to comment on what turns up in the exam, I recommend the JLS (available online from somewhere) as the final word. Also try compiling the following, insert suspected keywords and season to taste. public class Key{ public static void main(String argv[]){ int strictfp =1;
} }
