Hi,

I just wanted to know if anyone out there downloaded
the beta version of the java jdk 1.4.

When I invoke the compiler or interpreter, javac or java,
it threads itself, sometimes more than 15 times.
That was not the case with version 1.2 of the JDK
I was using on Linux. Also the regular expression 'replace'
method for the 'String' class were also missing.
They are in the final non-beta version.

Regards,
Pierre.

Beta 1.4 is long obsolete. They are up to 1.4.2_05. Did you mean
beta 1.5?

J2SE uses native threads (since 1.3?).
On Linux, this is a new process.

Correction:

On Linux kernels prior to version 2.6, threads /appear/ as separate
processes in the sense that they show up in a ps listing, e.g., but are
still threads sharing the virtual memory (except their stack), file
descriptors, signal dispensation, resource limits etc. with the main
process to which they belong.

In Linux kernel 2.6, the thread implementation has been substantially
changed, and they no longer appear as separate processes.

Yeah - something like that :)
Who uses that crusty operating system anyway?
