    Java 7 has switch( StringArgument ) and it has int x = 1_000_000. Basically, they tightened up some lose ends under the hood that Java 6 had.

    I consider the new switch( String ) and integer declarations as new features, the other stuff is enhancements.

    Java 8 promises to be a major new thing. One touted feature will be the ability to use other languages to run the JRE. Java 8 is scheduled for Sumer 2012.

    But you can code Java 6 with the Java 7 JDK. Same style of coding overall.

    NO!.... they might add some features to it...but the idea is always the same....as a programmer you should be focused on learning the ideas of programming...whether u learn it in java, c++, python or any other language...knowing one is enough to understand the others
