The JavaOne schedule builder has been improved since last year,
and it is now easier to resolve conflicts. This is much
appreciated. However, the builder should have been written in
Java or AJAX to limit the time required to reload the page after
adding a session.

A long standing issue for many developers is that the java.nio.channels package has lacked support for Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting. In the NIO.2 early review draft specification you will see that we have addressed this issue by adding multicast support to DatagramChannel.

I had set aside work on the closures prototype for a couple of
months to write a JSR proposal that represents a consensus among the
folks thinking about this area. You can find it at http://www.javac.info/consensus-closures-jsr.html.
One of the things I learned is that unanimous agreement is rarely
possible. There are those who feel that nothing should be done to the
Java programming...

One of the many issues addressed by NIO.2 is that the Java SE platform doesn't have a complete set of APIs to access file permissions and other security related file attributes. It's not rare to encounter code that has to resort to using Runtime.exec to execute a command such as chmod(1).

SapphireSteel, makers of the Ruby In Steel plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio, has been touting their own code completion feature for a while.

Just to be clear - IntelliSense is a trademark of Microsoft, so...
