Sun has recently "upgraded" the Java language to include many new features such as Generics, Type-Safe Enumerations, Automatic Boxing and Unboxing, Annotations, For/In loops, and Static Imports.

I'm going to discuss the current effect 1.5 has on APCS as well as possible future implications it may have on your course. for more detail read..http://www.cs.indiana.edu/classes/jett/sstamm/
