Risking the chance that I look like the Eiffel bigot that I am, I'd say  
none for the current language definition of Java.
There are a few essential concepts missing; off-hand I'd count multiple  
inheritance and generic types among them.
It is possible to do without them, but it makes designing good standard  
libraries much more difficult.
