They moved JavaOne from Moscone to Hilton & Parc hotels which suck. There was a lot fewer sessions. The keynotes were not at the beginning of the conference. The contents of the keynotes were rehashes of prevous year. I kid you not, they actually had the LiveScribe pen from two years ago and the car from previous year. Nothing new at all. They had absolutely nothing to say, a lot of speakers have cancelled (notably google). It was really a waste of time. Thankfully I caught the few sessions with Brian Goetz so I got something useful out of it. I will not go next year, I'll wait a few years and see if it picks up, google I/O is what I'm aiming for.
That bad ?
