I have code now running with Java J2SE 5.0. It runs good but I am now looking at using a later version of Java.
I have seen lots of information about new features with SE 6 but would appreciate if anyone could give me some suggestions as to the most important of these. Are there any real performance improvements or really good new features that I should look into.
Thank you
Heck yes. Java6 VMs are substantially quicker than Java5 VMs. The new features are generally underwhelming, though.
Other than, Java5 is way past its end-of-life, and is no longer supported.
I strongly recommend upgrading, especially if the extra performance is useful to you.
