I would like to echo Ron's request to concentrate on rigid backward
compatibility before adding new features. Like Ron we've been bitten by
changes in behavior between 1.2 and 1.3/1.4 which is costing us inordinate
amounts of time simply to "stand still", i.e. to keep our application doing
the same thing that it does on previous JRE/JDK versions.

So before adding new features that a few lone voices request, please fix
existing bugs.

If we (a small software company) can use extensive regression testing, why
can't Sun ? Sun has very powerful hardware at its disposal, so "slow"
regression tests should not be an excuse...

Cheers.
