One of the interesting announcements to come out of Devoxx '09 this year is the decision to include closures in JDK 7. The decision whether to include them or not has been debated for ages and just when it seemed that they weren't going to be, now they are. If you've missed the whole closure debate there's an excellent article on JavaWorld - Understanding the closures debate (although exactly how closures will be implemented is still not certain).

The announcement also coincided with the news that the release of JDK 7 has been put back to September 2010 to allow some extra time to complete a few additional features like closures.
