    At last Tiger is upon us...

    Working to bring a lot more convinence to certain aspects of Java, the language features look like you might expect as the language moves closer and closer to C++ all the time. I've been looking forward to this for some time, so it looks like its time to start reading up more on the uses of the new features!

    Available to download here. And now I wait for EE to incorporate the 5.0 JDK...

    Its fast! swing apps run a lot smoother. I tried it with jEdit and Eclipse on my Athlon 1.3G/256MB system last night

    I like the new look and feel. It brings a bit of color to the GUI. Makes it more modern looking.
