Re: 1.4 Availability

Yeah. I think for some things it is ready to rock (and I really enjoy the
mouse wheel support). However, we're doing java.nio stuff, trying to
exploit pure java to handle literally thousands of simultaneous socket
connections without killing the machine. In this area, the
JVM/implementation is not ready for any sort of real deployment (although we
haven't started working with 1.4.1 which is supposed to address most if not
all of these issues). Windows out of the box allows a maximum of 64
connections which is pathetic to say the least for high capacity servers.
We've been using the native NBIO libraries to work around the problem in the
short term but would like to go with pure java as soon as it works properly.

So I do stand corrected. I've found that as a user (Java editors, Jtest,
and whatnot) jdk1.4 is great. For server software development, it still
needs some work (although again, 1.4.1 theoretically fixes these issues).
