jwenting, you're seriously misinformed. Java 6 is awesome. There are no new language features in Java 6, so it's use is no different that Java 5. The JVM has speed improvements and refinements. Swing is faster. The Java 6 JRE is also smaller than Java 5 (12.5MB vs 16MB). If you're okay with Java 5, then Java 6 should be fine too. Java 7 may have some new language features that you may not like. But Java 6 -- with no new language features -- there's nothing not to like. -Bryan
