Had a chance to watch most of the presentations yesterday. Some very interesting discussions came up. While there aren't too many eye popping additions, for me a few the biggest are a) Fork/Join framework for parallel processing and b) invoke_dynamic in the jvm. Another interesting topic discussed in the roundtable was where Swing is headed, in particular the role JavaFX has for the future - which would be fantastic in my opinion, although the current platform dependence of JavaFX has prevented me from going far with the framework in its current state (I can understand how big an undertaking like this is and the difficulties getting a platform independent framework deployed)
