Re: Java SE 6 Release Candidate Available

this is hard. but even not the same thing, in a degree class data sharing is already possible with Java 5 i think.

Re: Java SE 6 Release Candidate Available

For those of you who download the builds from jdk6.dev.java.net; this is identical to build b104.

At least Java 5's version only worked with the client VM with the serial GC, which leaves out a lot of folks that could benefit from it. Support for the server VM and the other garbage collectors would be much appreciated.

Re: Java SE 6 Release Candidate Available

Does anyone know what the **** they changed from the beta to this RC, regarding dialog and windows ?

The only thing that works in my application, when run under Java webstart is the splashscreen.

The login dialog doesn't show up...

EDITED: Looks like its ok under vmware... but not on my dev computer.

Re: Java SE 6 Release Candidate Available

Well I need to do more tests, but the problem is really this:

"Malformed reply from SOCKS server" after a while.

which prevents my login window to run.

I'm using Firefox 2, and it looks like this Java 6 RC have a problem with the proxy settings...

Re: Java SE 6 Release Candidate Available

Multiuser VM is available or not?
There certainly have been performance issues with Java. We've been working really hard on them. The primary way we've attacked the problem is with advanced virtual machines. The performance has been getting very nice. --James Gosling, 1999.
