I feel a little disappointment when I occasionally hear fellow Java developers make statements like this: "Java 6 doesn't really provide all that much." My experience with Java SE 6 has been very different and I find myself missing many of its features when I must use an earlier version of Java. While it is true that JDK 1.4 and J2SE 5 each introduced several significant language and syntax enhancements, Java SE 6 has provided many of its own highly useful new features as well. In this blog entry, I look at a feature that I don't use often, but is very nice to have available when I need it. I will be looking at the Java SE 6 additions to the Java Collections Framework of the Deque and the interfaces that extend it and classes that implement it.
