Sun Microsystems have posted a new Java 2 Runtime & SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.1_02 for Windows, Linux, & Solaris. You can read what's changed here. Download Now.
but I always wonder, why Sun can't make java program Just In Time? that is, compile the class files into binary files before it runs. then it will be much much faster.
the biggest drawback of java is its slowness. if not, M$ .NET has no way to survive.
if anyone has some answer to my question, welcome. :grinthumb
anyway, this version is faster, I feel. Get it downloaded. :grinthumb
