Swing version w/ 1.2 pre-2?

Hi, I've been doing 1.1 programming with Swing 1.1.1 beta2, and now am upgrading to Swing 1.2. I've noticed, though, that some of Swing's newer features aren't there - so moving to 1.2 is actually a "downgrade" as far as Swing is concerned. The feature that I was using is the ability to use HTM

Efficiency/GC problem with Runtime.exec()?

Hi, I've noticed weird behavior with JDK1.1.7a (Suse 6.0) that I didn't see with JDK 1.1.6: When doing the most basic system exec, and then reading in the stdin, Java frequently hiccups, for a good second or two, usually when garbage is collected. I found this because I've written a port of GNU
