Mastertech Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Why bother though with v1.5.x out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Why bother though with v1.5.x out? 585375774[/snapback] Because not every single person in this world will want to run 1.5. There's nothing wrong continuing with developing older revisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted January 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2005 I know certain java applets depend on certain version numbers. Especially some web apps used in enterprise (frontier) so occasionally you need one than one version installed on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemania Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Honestly why would you want to run the older version? 585377891[/snapback] Because it is stable furthermore not all Java software are tested with Java 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude7273 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 huh?if you're thinking of media centre...that is not a new OS. 585378556[/snapback] I was trying to a make a point. Ok... umm... Why do people use PHP 4.3.x instead of 5.0.x Because 4.3.x is more stable for todays PHP scripts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kainashi Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 thanks for the heads up. i'm sticking with 1.4.2 for the time being. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertech Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Sorry but v1.5.x is not in Beta anymore and is stable. I see no reason why it would not be compatible with v1.4.x apps. I would need some proof it is not stable or not compatible, I just don't buy it. Sorry I've been using it since it came out of Beta and installing it on every machine I build with no problems reported or experienced. J2SE 5.0 is a significant release including many new features and updates while preserving compatibility and stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastertech Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) Whats the difference between this and J2SE 5.0 Update 1? 585381093[/snapback] v1.4.x is the older version of Java, (latest build v1.4.2_07). v5.0 is the latest version of Java (latest build v5.0 update 1 or v1.5.0_1). v5.0 includes all the features in v1.4.x plus the following New Features and Performance Enhancements.
