Well, this is more student work than anything else. So for me Java, the language is fine.New things are nice, yes. Don't take me wrong. But I don't think productivity will dramatically change thanks to closure or anything else in the list.

Java the platform is more a problem.

What am I missing from Java :

• Simpler persistence (I know each version makes it simpler but it is still too complicated).May be a pure standard object oriented database with an integrated reporting...
  
• Better, much better Swing, an easy Desktop application framework (I know it is coming, just cannot wait).
• MS (or OO) Office like components (a word processor; a spread sheet,...) easy to embbed and to enhance. All in Java please.
• In the same way, a Java based web browser component. Or merge Mozilla in JVM.
• XUL like language for interface building.
  
• Plenty of bug fixes and performance improvement.
• Better integration with Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• A standard ZK like web development framework.
• ...

Well plenty of things to make it a good client application builder. And simpler enough to be effective on small size project.
Also political and commercial aspects matter:

• Truly OpenSource I mean the real JDK not a //  product.
• Bundlled and distributed in all Linux distro.
• Popular as PHP among hosters with prices comparable to PHP.
• Nice really Open Source apps -for example CMS - not these open-source-for-the-basic-stuff-and-need-to-pay40K$ -for-getting-still-less-than-joomla.
• transparent market place not the -if-you-want-to-know-the-price-write-us.

So these are my dreams. And be sure that if I find something open and multi-vendors like this, I will consider to move on.
