Re: J2SE 1.5.0 release + Re: RFP: jrockit -- A virtual machine for Java

Cool, looking forward to hearing about your progress :-).

If you're going to start coding for 1.5 I can recommend using Eclipse 
3.1M2 or higher, as it has support for at least generics and the new 
loop syntax.  Syntactic sugar or not, it's really nice when coding.

 Cheers //Johan

Woha! I bow before you. I already more busy than two people but I hope
I can find the time somewhen to look into this. Shame on me, but now I
am going to check the newly released stable Sun J2SE 1.5.0[1].
