:-XIs there any suggested for getting Java 6 ( or 5? ) working under eCS. It is used for much software nowadays and is a favourite means of software development, so must be considered essential. Would you agree? As for GNU Classpath 0.96 and IcedTea 1.4 - please explain. I am currently forced to develop under Windows, so just went to Sun's Java site and downloaded the latest Java, with Java DB, and Netbeans = no mention of strange code names!
