Hi I recently had a customer of ours call up complaining of a problem with our software Visaj (http://www.visaj.com/). Anyway, it was the "ScrollBar flickers madly when scrolling sometimes" problem. He was using IBM JDK1.1.8. I thought it was kind of familiar and remembered this being a problem with one of the earlier Sun JDKs. Luckily, yesterday I went to a Java show in London, and IBM were there. I asked, "What JDK is IBM JDK1.1.8 based on?" The guy gave me a embarrassed smile and claimed that it is possible that 1.1.8 is actually based on Sun 1.1.6 source code, with their own patches and Sun patches applied, and that there may well be bugs that slipped through the net. This is just for your information and is in no way a dig at IBM - but something I did find interesting. Pre-P.S. IBM JDK 1.2 (based purely on the latest Sun sources) will be available early December apparently. Er... or was it January?
