I just upgraded to NT 4.0 to improve debugging in JBuilder and noticed
some annoying differences when I ran my app.
Now I know that if you right 100% pure java then your app will
(probably) work first time but, who knows the language well enough to do
this ?

The repaint of components in NT seemed to be much more selective which
required me to invalidate whole trees of components so they were all
repainted.  I also noticed that using SimpleDateFormat, the locale needs
setting or else it defaults to -8 hours GMT (west coast US?).

What is the solution to these differences on platforms, NT must be far
more similar to 95 than to all the UNIX flavours.  I did a pure java
check recently and none of the problem areas I found were highlighted
during the tests.

Has anyone found a solution ?
