Since you are i hibernate user that may be one of the major reasons
for you to switch (i know i will, eventually) to use the annotations

I actually find Hibernate* to not be as good as advertised, but then I
don't think the EJB3 stuff adds anything (indeed I feel it ties you into
vendors).
Personally, i'm waiting for the majority of my toolset to catch up,
probably will switch during the summer.
I have the Java5 sdk, but i code to 1.4 conventions and I use Jikes, I
don't miss the new features, so I don't feel left out or anything :)
I've been doing stuff on an off with it.
1. generics is wierd. It makes collections, well, different. There is a
lot of complexity there.
2. I do like the new iterator. OK. IDEs make typing out interator code
trivial, but this keeps everything cleaner. I just wish they had taken
an Iterator<T> as a parameter instead of Iterable<T>.
3. not used annotations yet. Not even @override.
Overall I am unsure which features are really compelling.
