    Lightbulb Java version

    I was wondering if it's possible to add the "version" radio buttons in the Java forum (Like in VB.NET forum)

    Re: Java version

    I wasnt aware that Java had issues with different versions (but then I dont do much Java!).

    If they were added, what values would they have?

    Re: Java version

    1.4 and 1.5

    There are also some older editions but almost nobody use them now

    Re: Java version

    How much of a difference does it make to most questions if it is version 1.4 as opposed to 1.5?

    Is it something of the same magnitude as the differences between .Net 1.0 and 2.0, or is it less relevant than that?

    Re: Java version

    The difference between 1.4 and 1.5 is a major change Language new features
    It's a big difference (as big as the differences between .NET 1 and .NET 2)

    Thats correct. Lets see if I can translate this expression into english:


    "Dear child has many names"


    Java 1.5 == Java 5 == Java Tiger



    There you go, now be confused.

    [Eidt] Ohhh, as far as I know, java 6 is still in Beta.
