New life for Swing

I just downloaded and started using Java 6 and all I can say is WOW!!

While many enhancements are geared toward Web Development (intergration 
with Scripting languages like JavaScript), the speed differences between 
1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 are simply AMAZING!!

Full IDEs that used to drag are now FLYING!! NetBeans 5.5 is seriously 
starting to run near NATIVE SPEED. We have to use Oracle JDeveloper at 
work. JDeveloper used to be a dragging butt dog on 1.5, but on 1.6, it 
is actually usable!

I plan to do a test with JB2006 and JB2007 with JDK 1.6 soon. Will keep 
you posted.

If you doubt the speed, simply download the jre/jdk. Run any of your 
current SWING apps that support 1.5 or even 1.5 (most of the apps I have 
that run on 1.4/1.5 run seamlessly in 1.6). See for yourself. Try 
Squirrel SQL for a comparison, if you do not want to risk an IDE.

This brings SWING apps very much back into the picture. They are now 
running near native speed on modern processors and are a true option to 
native applications.

I'm looking forward to it myself.  DaveO told me something similar back 
before Christmas.

Now if Apple would just get their version officially released...

I do not know what the release date is for Apple. With the exception of 
JB2006, every other app I have tried that is 1.5 compatible, seems to 
work with 1.6.

The same Open Tools problem witht he Prime time IDE. Still trying work 
arounds on Linux.

What "Open Tools problem" are you referring to?

I managed to pass these errors by moving all FIX JARS provided with 
JBuilder.

Open JBuilder.config file. There is a set of addbootpath lines where fix 
jars are provided for different pars of the JDK.

Of course there is many other error messages displayed in the console 
but at least IDE becomes visible.

For example projects that contain Enterprise modules can't be open. 
There is some Abstract error messages.

If CodeGear can provide us with updated IDE that can run on top of JDK 
1.6 this will be great. I'm sure the speed improvement in some 
situations will be above 10%.

So you moved all of these to the location of the new jdk?

I think he means to remove/move from from JBuilder.  A lot of those 
"fix" jars are specific bug fixes for the JDK itself.  It makes sense to 
remove them when updating your JDK.  Maybe just remove one at a time, 
and see what happens for each one.

Some of these "fixes" contain base Swing classes which refer to specific 
for 1.5 com.sun.* classes or properties. Because of that when starting 
JBuilder there is lots of NoSuchClass exceptions.
