FAQ
Where can I read about the Swing-related enhancement in Java SE 6?
Sun’s technical writers recently did an interview with one of the lead architects/engineers on the Swing team, Scott Violett who provided the following summary of Swing related enhancements in Java SE 6: «The Java SE 6 release adds a cornucopia of new desktop-related features. We’ve added subpixel font rendering and improved our GIMP Toolkit (GTK+) and Windows look and feel. We’ve added much-requested features such as the splash-screen API, table sorting and filtering, and desktop APIs. Layout is easier with GroupLayout . Drag and drop is no longer a drag. Both the Java Web Start software and the Java Plugin Framework user experience is much improved. The list goes on and on. The complete catalog of major desktop features can be found here.»
How is Java SE 6 different from the previous version (J2SE 5.0): what are the improved and updated areas, such as functionality, security, performance?
Anyone who has existing Java applications, will benefit immediately from the performance, reliability, and UI improvements in Java SE 6. Coupled with the expanded monitoring and diagnositics capacities built into the platform, the release delivers dramatic out-of-the-box benefits without any coding changes or even a re-compile necessary. Simply running existing Java applications on this latest release is all that is needed. For developers, Java SE 6 streamlines web service and XML development, simplifies GUI development and augments native desktop support, expands programmatic access to native security facilities, and is the first release to offer a standardized framework for scripting languages. NetBeans IDE integrates with the release to further simplify the use of these and other new developer features in the release. Of course, these are just the highlights, for more details on the release, check out the Java SE 6 page.
Press & Industry Quotes
«Sun does a good job of having not a lot of framework stuff baked into Java SE. That way it’s easier to layer frameworks on top of it.» Michael Cote, analyst with RedMonk, on InternetNews
«The really big deal here is that you don’t need to do anything special to the startup to be able to attach on demand with any of the monitoring and management tools in the Java SE platform. [Java SE 6] adds yet more diagnostic information, and we co-bundled the infamous memory-heap analysis tool Jhat for forensic explorations of those core dumps.» Danny Coward, Java SE Platform lead, SDA Asia

Graeme Wallace, CTO, FareCompare , «When the early builds of Java SE 6 came out, we jumped in to see if we could get any performance improvements, which are crucial to our business. To make a long story short, the difference between Java SE 5 and Java SE 6 was startling. In terms of crunching through air fares, we are talking an increase in speed of 25% to 30%.»

В русской транскрипции название звучит, как «Джава 6», но некоторые пользователи называют ее «Ява 6». В сравнении с пятой версией увеличилась скорость вычислений (на 70%), в 2 раза возросла скорость операций ввода и вывода, а также улучшилась работоспособность OpenGL и DirectX, появилась возможность работы с файлами gif.
Информация о программе
Java Runtime Environment представляет собой исполнительную среду, выпущенную компанией Sun Microsystems. С ее помощью разработчики смогут пользоваться приложениями, написанными на языке Ява.
В структуре Джава 6 (JRE 6):
- Виртуальная машина Java Virtual Machine.
- Библиотека Джава-классов.
Джава стала основой для создания множества игр и программ, в особенности тех, для которой особую роль играет мобильность. В сети некоторые веб-страницы также используют Java.
Преимуществом данного языка программирования является кроссплатформенность. Все приложения, созданные на его базе, могут быть использованы на оборудовании с операционными системами, где предустановлен Java Runtime Environment.
Джава 6 обеспечивает для пользователей следующие возможности:
- Возможность играть в онлайн-игры.
- Просмотр изображений в 3D – формате и пр.
Разработчиком Java SE Runtime Environment является компания Oracle (до 2010 года — Sun Microsystems). Распространение осуществляется бесплатно с возможностью покупки дополнительных элементов.
Джава 6 обладает следующими особенностями:
- Возможность автоматического управления памятью.
- Наличие расширенных способностей по обработке нестандартных ситуаций.
- Многочисленные средства фильтрации ввода и вывода.
- Классы, которые позволят исполнять HTTP-запросы с последующей обработкой ответов.
- Наличие коллекций (стек, массив, перечень и пр.).
- Унификация доступа к базам данных.
- Поддержка шаблонов.
- Возможность параллельного исполнения программ.
- Возможность использования обычных средств творения сетевых прибавлений, включая протокола RMI.
Таким образом, использование Ява 6 стало важным подспорьем для многих программистов и компаний, ведущих бизнес в сети. К примеру, такие гиганты, как Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, Yahoo! И пр. уже давно пользуются Ява для реализации собственных проектов.
