Java 6.0

[Thomas Weidenfeller]

I once learned that 0.x are internal versions and that the
first published version is 1.0. By this, a published version
0.x would be a contradiction.

Release early, release often is the mantra of the free/open software
community. Also, some projects like to keep the 0.x forever, as an
indication that there is never ever such a thing as a complete and
perfect software.

Hi everyone,

I don't mean to be bad but seriosly i am trying ask a
question here, they can name in roman numerals for all i care.

Please guys i really need help with this question mine.
Please stick to the topic at hand

LOL

Oh boy - here we go again.

I put in my two cents last time someone tried to tell us what to do - I
think I'll refrain this time.

I'll keep that in mind and start releasing with version 7.0

Nah. Start with 0.5. If there are lots of bug reports, next version is 0.25,
otherwise if there are few reports 0.75. Continue with binary chop until you
have an honestly indicative version number. Then stick with that number for
all releases unless/until you change your development patterns...

We /are/ sticking to the topic, it's you who are talking about something else
;-)

But try:

Check the licences /very/ carefully.

Generally, I hear manager-types say that they want to plan to keep
their products in the 2.x - 6.x range for as long as possible,
because that's when customers have the most confidence. Starting
with 7.x, the mythology goes, customers start to assume that the
product is a dinosaur and look for the next New Thing that will
replace it.

I seem to remember that the initial release of Watcom C was version
6.0.

The thing is my entire computer network is stil using 1.4.2.
I don't know if i can download the src.zip only. If i can do you know the
url i can download it from.

No. Download the JDK, install it and delete everything but src.zip

If you talked someone into mailing src.zip to you it would balloon up
with the mime encoding, so you woud be no further ahead.

No. Download the JDK, install it and delete everything but src.zip

Not sure if this is "safe", especially if the OP is working on Windows.
I believe the installer does all sorts of voodoo magic with the registry.
Perhaps the OP could install the JDK, make a backup of src.zip, then
uninstall the JDK, and be left with only his/her personal backup copy.

Yes. that would be better.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where i can get hold of the source code for the following
api

JTextComponent.print(MessageFormat headerFormat,MessageFormat
footerFormat)
throws PrinterException

This code is part of the new java second edition 6.0.

I have tried searching google but could not find any of its source code.
What i am trying to do is hopefully create a backport for 1.5

Does anyone know where i find the java source code to the above api

Any help is greatly appreciated

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

How about

http://download.java.net/jdk6/beta/

Not that hard to find.

Again I echo the comments about licences.
