They all know that Sun launched the J2SDK1.5 version.
Then in August 18, 2004
Send a Note declaration to rename 1.5 into 5.0
Explain as follows:
Java technology was introduced 9 years ago and it's been over 5 years since the introduction of J2SE, the 2nd generation Java platform. Given its rich history, changing the version of the next release from 1.5 to 5.0 better reflects the level of maturity, stability, . scalability and security built into J2SE Here are the official naming and versioning conventions for the upcoming release (also known as "Tiger"): and 1, 2004 released a J2SE 5.0 release Candidate version is a RC version in September, previously see What software's RC version, not much care, think is the release version. However, after I installed this J2SE 5.0, I found some problems, and I finally made me understand what is RC version. After installation J2SE 5.0, I found that the installed directory name is: "C: / Program files / java / jdk1.5.0 "and" c: / program files / java / jre1.5.0 "How to direct the directory or 1.5.0? ? ? I am strange in my heart. Then use Java -Version to display, showing 1.5.0-rc my heart is thinking: "It is not all renamed, and the SUN website downloaded is already called 5.0, how these two places are still 1.5.0, is this The little mistake is can't see? "I understand, this should be the so-called RC version RC = Release Candidate usually only understands Release, and does not understand this" C "meaning, C is the meaning of candidates. That is to say, this is not an official release. But no matter what, such a small error hopes that you shouldn't appear again when real release, then Sun can really laugh :)
