Published: 15 Feb 2006 18:40 GMT
You can now get your hands on a test version of the next major release of Java. The beta of Java Standard Edition 6, also known as Mustang, includes changes to the way it handles Web services, should deliver better look and feel and tighter security. Mark Reinhold of Sun announced the availability of the Java SE 6 beta on Wednesday.
"In contrast to the source and binary snapshots that we've been shipping for over a year, the formal beta release has been through many weeks of intensive testing — and a tiny little bit of last-minute bug-fixing — in order to produce a release that's somewhat more polished," said Reinhold. "If you've chosen to avoid the riskier snapshot builds then now is the perfect time to have a look at Mustang, make sure your existing code still compiles and runs, and try out the new features," he added.
