I think that the time where JDK 1.1 compatibility was an issue is long past. Its been _years_ since that's been cited as an issue for any of my customers or colleagues. > Does anyhow have any thoughts on this?

Also, JDK 1.1-based programs use Vector, which is synchronized, and therefore slower; in general, ArrayList is preferable, although you need to be careful and try to figure out whether a synchronized collection is actually needed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
