I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any major risk to moving to
Java 1.6 now prior to their official release?
I am primarily using Eclipse, JBoss and Hibernate and obviously dont
want to introduce bugs if 1.6 is not ready for them?
I guess it has little impact on Eclipse but may impact other
technologies?
I've used 1.6 for quite some time, and all my existing projects
seems to work just fine.
Except for this irritating detail:
To acheive antialiased fonts in Swing for JDK <= 1.5 I've lots of
c.putClientProperty(com.sun.java.swing.SwingUtilities2.AA_TEXT_PROPERTY_KEY,
true)
scattered around the code. But the SwingUtilities2 class doesn't exist
in 1.6 (no other than myself to blame when using a class wich
such a silly name: It begs of becomming deprecated :-)
1.6 has a different approach for setting antialiasing as far as I know.
Isn't it time antialiased fonts are used by default? Why whould you
ever want non-antialiased fonts anyway?
