I had the same question myself. I went to RMSS and they had a preview of 1.6 in one of the sessions. I think he had some sort of explanation (in the tradition of NFJS, he's not from Sun or anything) of Derby - something along the lines of making it similar to other languages for people to start doing the db development. Eh, whatever. I'll stick with Hani - I believed he biled that little nugget ages ago. Regarding Netbeans vs. Eclipse, one of the guys on the Java Posse podcast mentioned using both and I find that to be useful. I fire up NetBeans for Matisse (Swing dev) and use Eclipse for everything else. Of course, I also use both Vim and Emacs, so I'm sick that way, I guess. :) BTW, have you seen EasyEclipse?

There are a lot of jvm improvements and bug fixes (as with each release), but the "groundbreaking" stuff is almost all gui work. It's not like 5, which brought big changes to the language itself.
