Maybe you could pronounce beta as "better" everytime you talk to people ;-)
Perhaps we could have a label for those builds that are noted as being more stable. Something along the lines of 'Very High Stability', so you would have: struts1.1-beta and struts1.1-VHS Seriously though I find the versioning in the Java world quite ridiculous. The marketing guys at Sun had the right idea with Java2 - the actual JVM versions really ought to follow this! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 22:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Struts 1.1 Release > Really 1.1 is so much better then 1.02 that you should be calling it 2.0 > when it is released (and the current beta releases should be something > like 1.99....) > Of course Java is at 1.4.1. How similar is 1.4 to 1.0? And why do they call 1.2+ "Java 2"? Why didn't they just call it Java 2.0? Will there ever be a Java 2.0 or will it just go to 1.100? Coming from a Microsoft background (and finally seeing the light), I'm not familiar with the strange versioning strategy in the Java Community and it's always baffled me. At our company we release a new major version every year whether we need to or not. I'm working to evangelize things like Struts and open source in general, and part of that may be trying to change the perception of release names, and words like "beta".
