Here is a list of the major new language features in Java. They are fully described in my book Java 2, v5.0 (Tiger) New Features.
Generics Autoboxing Enumerations The enhanced for loop Static import Varargs Metadata New formatted I/O classes and methods
There are also upgrades to the API. For example, the entire Collections Framework has been retrofitted for generics.
