Java Mustang is galloping into town. Also known as Java SE 6, Sun's latest incarnation of the Java 2 platform should arrive in its first non-beta release by the time you read this article. Jeff Friesen shows you why the many new features (from console I/O and access permissions control methods, to the system tray API and table sorting and filtering) that you now get to play with make Mustang an interesting release.

Its great that its just about to be released as I've seen many speed improvements compared to 5, however I wonder - when will it be available to Mac OS X...

Apple is currently at J2SE version 1.6.0_b88 (Developer Preview 6 of Java SE 6 Release 1).
(looks like they will be faster than with previous Java releases ;-)
