Slashdot discovers JDK 1.5...

Now they remember... While we reported on JDK 1.5's new features yesterday, Slashdot remembered to do so today. Enjoy the comments :)

JDK 1.5 sneak-peak feature summary

For those of us who don't want to go through all the JSRs...

From the Eclipse project's site:

"The next feature release of J2SE is version 1.5 ("Tiger"), targeted to ship in the first half of 2004. While the contents of this release are still under discussion (JSR-176), this release is expected to contain extensions to the Java language, including generic types (JSR-014), enumerations, autoboxing, enhanced for loops, static imports (all JSR-201), metadata facility (JSR-175), and compiler APIs (JSR-199)."

"A New Protocol For Faster Web Services"

Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends blog, is reporting about "A New Protocol For Faster Web Services", summarized from a CNet article.
It seems to be a new algorithm for processing transactions in parallel instead of in order, while still preventing deadlocks.

"Why We Refactored JUnit?"

Interesting post at Slashdot.
