Well, Sun is adding generics to Java, should be in JDK 1.5, I hear they 
are looking as adding some sort of limited user defined operators
for Java.  They added 'asserts' in JDK 1.4.

But no real enumeration data types like in Ada still, and probably never
well.

I think Java is good, but still Ada is better as a basic language. But 
I find Ada OO model harder to work with for me due to the different syntax 
I am used to.
