Posted by michael on from the cuppa-joe dept.

And I think this means I can use my wheel-mouse in NetBeans without that extra module ;) Download it here." WilsonSD adds: "There are many cool new features including a New I/O package, an Assert Facility and enhanced performance." Some other random Java notes: O'Reilly has an essay about why you won't see any open source J2EE implementations, and Kodak has filed a patent-infringement claim against Sun regarding Java.

    SDK 1.3.1 stability was terrible on Redhat 7.1 and 7.2 Hopefully 1.4 will be much better. Otherwise I will have to continue using IBM's 1.3.0 SDK.

    Visual Studio .Net was released today.

    Where is a story on that?

    So much for the facade of neutrality.

    What do people think of Visual Studio .Net .. no anti-M$FT commie flames from fud prophets please.. I want opinions of people that have actually used it and have genuine comments.

    What good is this platform really?

    It seems to me that Java is nothing but slower than other languages, and the write once run anywhere concept has already been bastardized, so whats the point?

    Not trying to troll, but Im a developer and I really would like to know why people care about this still?
