Product and Technology Releases

The following J2SE products and technologies were recently released:

JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.0.2 First Customer Ship

Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition/JSR-176/J2SE 1.5 version 0.50 Public Review Draft 2

JSR-163 Java Platform Profiling Architecture 1.0 PFD

JSR-204 Unicode Supplementary
Version 3.1 of the Unicode standard is the first to define characters that cannot be described by single 16-bit code points, and thus, the standard breaks a fundamental assumption of the Java programming language and APIs. This JSR defines the necessary adjustments to the APIs to enable support for such characters and enables the Java platform to continue to track the Unicode standard.

JSR-133 Java Memory Model and Thread Specification Revision PFD
Describes the semantics of threads, locks, volatile variables, and data races. This includes what has been referred to as the Java memory model.

J2SE and NetBeans IDE Cobundle J2SE 1.4.2_04
