We can think whether generics and annotations are good or bad, but they
are now a part of our lives. There is nothing we can do.

I actually find Hibernate* to not be as good as advertised, but then
I don't think the EJB3 stuff adds anything (indeed I feel it ties you
into vendors).
Personally, i'm waiting for the majority of my toolset to catch up,
probably will switch during the summer.
I have the Java5 sdk, but i code to 1.4 conventions and I use Jikes,
I don't miss the new features, so I don't feel left out or anything :)
I've been doing stuff on an off with it.
1. generics is wierd. It makes collections, well, different. There is
a lot of complexity there.
2. I do like the new iterator. OK. IDEs make typing out interator code
trivial, but this keeps everything cleaner. I just wish they had taken
an Iterator<T> as a parameter instead of Iterable<T>.
3. not used annotations yet. Not even @override.
Overall I am unsure which features are really compelling.
