Colin Crist [05/Jan/07 11:38 AM] Thanks, I'll look into it when I do the Java 6 port sometime in the coming months. Is there any reason why you're dependent on Java 6?

Bernhard Neuhauser [08/Jan/07 05:59 AM] Why JDK6? Simple: Swing is neat now. It feels more responsive then using Java 5. My own applications are also depending on Java 6 because im using features like the new TrayIcon support or javax.xml.bind. Hermes is the only app im using which is not able to run on jdk 6. Its no problem, because its easy to install more then one JRE on the same machine. Still hermes is currently the only app forcing me to install Java5 additionally to Java6. Normally i would argue that Java 6 is a must have for all swing applications. Sun fixed the grey-box behavior (using double buffering?) which was the reason why most end-users got the feeling that swing is slow. But in your case its a tool from developers for developers :o) (developers prefer features .. )

Colin Crist [09/Jan/07 04:54 AM] I wasn't questioning whether Java 6 is a good thing of not, of course it is :-) and I'm keen to see the improvements when I run Hermes with it. I was asking whether you had a dependency, for example because a JMS provider you were using or a serialised object you wanted to view depended on Java 6, that required you to run Hermes in a Java 6 VM. I'll give it a spin with Java 6 in the next couple of weeks and let you know, hopefully (fingers crossed) there are only a couple of minor issues.

Colin Crist [09/Jan/07 06:32 AM] You got me interested and a quick check with Java 6 shows a bug in Hermes - I've updated the SNAPSHOT release at: http://hermesjms.com/patches Can you give it a spin? Thanks.
