Picked up a useful piece of information from Xyling Java blog about Java 6 becoming increasingly open source
Building on the success of the snapshot release process started during the development of J2SE 5.0, SUN will make early snapshots available for J2SE 6. This will afford developers the chance to make a greater contribution to the Java development lifecycle. Mb>Only fair considering developers generally have an idea or two about improvements they'd like to see in languages, libraries, API's etc. Well done to SUN on this developer friendly initiative.
(thinking of coming up with a "developer-friendly" logo similiar to the dolphin friendly one you see on some cans of tuna! Put suggestions on the comments page )
