There was an announcement at JavaOne last week about that. Nothing substantial yet; all I see in the various on-line reports is this, which appears to be straight from the press release:
"The Dolphin release, also known as Java SE 7, is set to feature direct support for XML and �super packages�, which are new constructs that allow hierarchical modular organization. Super packages are expected to benefit larger scale development."
(After a little more googling:) Here's a link with a tiny bit more detail:

Templates - do you mean like C++ templates? Did you know Java 5.0 already has generics, which is more or less the same?
What about some of the neat features of C# - delegates, getters and setters? (No pointers and no operator overloading, please!) [ May 24, 2006: Message edited by: Jesper Young ]
