It is also good to see JVM becoming "Adaptive". I think this is good but the "adaptive algorithms" have to be really good.<br /><br />The release notes has some noteworthy changes in Swings which is good. More controls are added and double buffering has been added to avoid Gray Rect” problem.<br /><br />I wonder if anyone has done any performance analysis of J2SE 5 vs J2SE 6.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15284494-8960291927739712944?l=murthydn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murthyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06103768507677444206noreply@blogger.com0
