Any data on using Java 1.5 in production?
My group is using Java 1.4.1 right now and encountering a bug that's forcing us to move to a newer VM. The cautious approach says we should just go to 1.4.2 since it's been well tested by now, but on the other hand, 1.5 has some performance and GC improvements that soudn like they coul really help us.
The big question for us is how much use has 1.5 received now? It sounds as if Sun has done far more testing on 1.5 than any previous VM release, but that's no replacement for customer real-world testing. So my question is how many people are using Tiger in a production/released environment? Anyone know of any data on this topic?
Thanks.
