Java for Vista is rock solid, says Sun

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Sun Microsystems has moved to quash growing reports of problems between Java and Microsoft’s java.jpgWindows Vista operating system, due next month. Sun has begun circulating links to one of its engineer’s blogs that claims "we have been building a rock solid release of Java [Java Standard Edition 6] for Vista.

"We have been tuned into this release and making Java work on it since it was named after a breed of cattle [Longhorn]," according to Sun Java client group architect Chet Haase.

If there are problems, it will be with Java pre-dating Java SE 6 - Java SE 1.5 and Java SE 1.4.2 - although Hasse says necessary fixes will be back ported to these releases.

That would be OK, if it weren’t for the fact Java SE 6 has yet to be finalized and made available for release, meaning most desktop Java SE is versions 1.5 and 1.4.2. Java for Vista is rock solid, says Sun | Channel Register
