Hi;
I want to download a jdk which it can use in the industry, and it can do compile and run and develop web application and connect with database.
and i found JDK 6 with Java EE, JDK 6 with NetBeans 5.5 and NetBeans IDE do some thing, so it make me hard to make a desicion.
Could you which one is more popular to use in the industry, please.
I recommend at least the 1.5 releases.
1.6 is still in its "infancy".
If you have time before release to let 1.6 mature, I would go with that.
As a Java developer for a B2Bi company, our JDK dependency relies on what is available for all of our supported platforms (Windows, Linux and IBM iSeries (a.k.a. AS400)). Usually the IBM iSeries release is the last to come out (which is directly from IBM). Currently we are using 1.5.
1.5 provided a plethora of language, APIs and runtime enhancements that we wanted to take advantage of. 1.6 looks to be the same way, but, of course, we're just waiting for IBM.
