Sessions:
TS-5206: Fortress (mostly rehash of presos from years past)
TS-6024: Enterprise-Level Testing Strategies (fascinating discussion of "real-world" problems testing a huge project)
TS-6072: Advanced Enterprise Debugging Techniques (some interesting assorted things)
BOF-6209: Migrating to Maven 2 (mostly pointless)
TS-5866: Project Sailfin (VOIP/SIP stuff, a little dull)
TS-6185: JSR 277 (not very interesting, little discussion of motivation or tricky problems)
TS-6050: JRuby vs. Groovy (OK, nothing all that new)
TS-6316: Transactional Memory (interesting, Intel guys, comparison of software vs. hardware approaches)
TS-6213: Weird Java Language Hacks (very interesting: RIFE continuations, Terracotta, GWT, Android)
BOF-6229 (part): RIFE & Web Continuations (interesting but rushed)
BOF-6180: Class Loaders (a true BOF, not preso; sent private feedback to Karen Kinnear)
BOF-5624: Java Debugging in NB (some nice demos)
TS-5686 (part): NIO (missed section on Filesystems SPI, alas)
TS-6421: Mylyn (excellent presentation, thorough demos)
TS-5122: OSGi Migration (some interesting overview of OSGi, but not much substance regarding migration)
TS-5596: Pimp My Build (from Atlassian; low-level tricks in Ant and Maven)
TS-5622: NB Hg Module (OK, basic demos)
BOF-5101: Groovy Productivity (some nice info on testing idioms)
BOF-5495: Asynch Web (from eBay; interesting but tough to follow)
TS-6048: Complex Event Processing (from Orbitz; very interesting; note Eclipse tool for CEP dataflow design)
TS-4814: Apache MINA (cool API for fast asynch I/O processing; server development for "real programmers")
TS-5729: Automated Heap Dump Analysis (from SAP; fascinating, looks like far more powerful tool than otherwise available, strong Eclipse integration)
TS-6039: Jython Impl (low-level explanation of internals, focus on performance optimization)
TS-6206: JVM on Multicore (all-star presentation to conclude the conference, will probably be relevant for years to come, depressing yet exciting at the same time)
