JDK 1.4 of Java 2 Released

Yep, its out. 1.4 has a lot of stuff \"in there\" and of course some enhancements to how the stuff works. The JVM is more optimized and the standard API now includes stuff like regexp, xml, user preferences, cryptography, jdbc and more. Most of these items have been available in separate api\'s for some time, but now its all \"in there.\"

For those of you trying to migrate your 1.2 stuff to 1.3, GET MOVING, you are now another rev behind!

For more info on whats new see the linked \"overview\" article. To get a copy for just about any platform (including rpms, gzip, zip, etc) see the download link.   JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SETM), Version 1.4 Overview
