I recently posted to this newsgroup regarding some execution flaws that my

Update 13 is what's current.

It took me almost 2 years of hard work to implement this application and now
I realize that my efforts were wasteful.

Any programmer is aware of how painful it is for someoen to write code.


Really? I don't find it painful.

I consider it intolerable for the new JDK 6 and JRE 6 to not be fully
compatible with JDK and JRE version 5.


What is the difference, precisely?

If Sun is not going to correct these problems I am afraid that JAVA [sic] will
lose its reputation among programmers.


What exactly are "these problems" specifically?

Many thanks go to those who tried to help me so as to overcome these
problems. However, I am afraid that I have to change many parts of the code
or even to write it from scratch in order to keep up with JRE 6 update 10.


How about you provide us with an SSCCE, as others have suggested and you have
not done? People asked for detail, e.g., Joshua Cranmer:

We all would appreciate it if you could describe your problem in a lot more detail.

"My computer's broken!" <-- that's in essence what you've told us... :-/


So where's the detail?

I'm putting my money on a bug in your program, not the Java language. If you
give us some information then maybe we can diagnose your problem and you won't
have to be "afraid that [Java] will lose its reputation among programmers".
(It's not in any danger yet.)
