Java EE 6 is the latest Java EE release and shows the maturity of Java in the enterprise. In this talk we will take a quick tour of the highlights of the release, touching on many of the new features that are being introduced in the existing sub-specifications, and introducing some of the new specifications that have been added. Java EE is in the interesting position of having to ensure brand new and successful technologies are included and standardized, and that older less-favored technologies are not dragged along endlessly until they simply die on the rope to become dead platform weight. We will discuss some of the process changes that are designed to help keep the platform dynamic and vibrant.
