How do you find out about new Java technologies, tools and specifications? [closed]

Tags:

java

One of the major challenges for any java developer is try to keep in pace of development of the language and new tools. Java is evolving all the time and it happens often that I hear from a friend or colleague about some useful tool I had never heard of before.

I'd love to hear about how people find out when new java specs come out or an interesting, new tool is released? For example, what java blogs do you follow?

Listen to the Java Posse podcast. It is fun, it is relevant and gives a great feel of the Java (and wider JVM) community. It also has sections on Scala, Groovy, Android and (from time to time) Clojure.

Look for it on iTunes or your other podcatcher of choice.
