I'm anxiously waiting for update 6 of JDK 1.5, when javac is *finally*
supposed to implement @SuppressWarnings. Is there any way to know when
it is likely to be released? (Does Sun maintains some kind of regular
update cycle or announce these things somewhere?)
Thanks!

I check every few days. I have never known them to give any advance
hints.

It has been hinted to me that it will be released on or about the end of
November (2005 that is ;) ).

I'm glad Sun does not announce dates. That would lead them to release
software with known critical bugs.
