The list of new feature is huge. The first improvement but for me not interesting at all is windows vista native support (double-buffered painting, WPF).

  • Ctrl + Alt +Click -> step into method when debugging
  • Refractoring without dialog
  • Initial searching – GS finds GenericServlet
  • DateTime control
  • Show references/all instances when debugging on java6
  • Null variable check detection improvements
