• Java SE Changes
• Desktop /JRE Update

We will also discuss plans for the JUG for the rest of the year including upcoming talks, plan for our 1 day developer event, and JUG policies.

There will be tons of giveaways (books, tshirts, pens, trinkets, etc,) of stuff I got from Sun from the JUG and other treats I picked up from the conference.  If you are a Spring user, I got a nice gift for you. Hope  to see you there!
