Yes, the -> operator. According to Danny Coward, Sun Java SE Platform Lead, Java 7 will use the arrow operator for Java Beans property access:

Danny Coward talk PDF (p.27): Reading JavaBeans properties

a.setFoo(b.getFoo());
a->Foo = b->Foo;

What's wrong with using the good old dot?

Most of the stuff mentioned are nice and useful. I like the XML literal and the BigDecimal arithmetic operator overloading. The Swing simplification effort is long over due too.
