JavaTM SE 6 Release Notes: Features and Enhancements
Some of the key enhancements, imho…
  1. Splash screen
  2. SwingWorker
  3. Improved drag and drop
  4. Find free disk space
  5. Support for long path names in Windows
  6. Java HTTP Server… wtf?
  7. Improved Windows and GTK Look and Feel
  8. Some changes to collections, though JDK 1.5 introduced more changes with Generics, enums etc.
  9. Ability to open system applications! Desktop.getDesktop().open(file)
  10. Better internationalisation?
  11. Zip deflater and inflater streams
PLEASE NOTE: JDK6 is formerly known as Project Mustang
Changes in java.lang and java.util, includes Java 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 changes.
Lots of changes; but most of the big language changes seem to have been in 1.5 or 5.0… depending on which Sun numbering system you use.
