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.

  1. Yah, will this be stable on Linux? by Don't+Exist · · Score: 1, Troll

    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.
