Ehh, as in, JDK7 hasn't shipped yet and I predict when it does, it
will have little impact. If it hasn't happened yet, surely it must be

How about invoke dynamic (JSR 292), diamond operator, strings in switch?

My 4 predictions are:
1. Java will get back on track with JDK7's release and stabilisation
