J2SE1.5: First of its kind

atleast in one aspect. i.e un deprecating. This is probably the first release where a method is undeprecated.

The method public static String getenv(String name) in the class java.lang.System which has been deprecated since JDK1.1.x days is undeprecated with J2SE1.5. The docs of the undeprecated method can be found here. Also rightly a new Generics based getenv method is being added.
