> I wish people would check their facts.
I apologize, I was wrong with this one. As for checking the facts, I have
given up on keeping myself up to date with Java. I tried with 141. 142,
then 5. Since then I've move onto C#. This comment was more or less
relating to when Java5 was being put through it's alpha, beta phases, I was
still able to buy magazines, books and get code examples written with 142
code for the most part. The code wasn't exclusive. Hey, maybe that was a
sign that I should have flipped over to C# earlier cause nobody in the the
java community cared enough to keep up to date?

re Java 5 amazing bug list
Interesting, I didn't realize it was that bad. :< Not a way to win over a
developer community. :<

re why a bad thing
I'm not disagreeing with you about it being a bad thing. I just take issue
to MS, book publishers, websites, third party ISVs releasing code for a beta
product as if it were a production tool. I might be wrong, maybe I am, but
that's the feeling I'm getting from reading some recent magazines and
walking into Chapters. What % of webpages do you guys read list code
examples which require the beta vs 1.1? FTPOline, TheServerSide.NET,
Coding4Fun, even my local .net usergroup (ugott.net) all show current
content requiring 2.0.

I agree, letting developers pound the product is good, makes for a solid
release. We all want that of course. I hate getting a version of JBuilder,
at 5Gs a pop, putting Jalopy, CVS into the mix and watch the bugs fly! :<
