Sun Gives Advance Notice of Java Update
|
Tomorrow, Dec. 2, 2008, Sun will release updates for various versions of Java. This is the first example, to my knowledge, of an advance notification of an update by Sun Microsystems. In fact, it's the first advance notification I know of except for those from Microsoft, which started the practice to accommodate planning by IT departments. Microsoft's advance notifications come four days in advance of the actual update release. Sun's is one day in advance, and contains only minimal information. It says the following updates will be released:
It also lists Sun alert numbers for the updates, but there are no links or indications of what the alerts mean. I tried to search for the numbers but had no luck. Still, advance notification is a good thing and this is a step in the right direction. I hope it's a trend. |
