Java SE 6 update 12 - 64-bit plugin, anyone?

[The_ouroboros]

A couple of weeks back our teams started to work on another significant milestone of Java SE in the 6 family - 6u12. Even though it is "just" one of the updates, it is going to bring some of the new major functionality the Java users have been asking for, for a long time. The complete list of new features will be published upon the release, but to highlight some of the ones some of you might find interesting:


* 64-bit plugin (4802695) - allows running applets and Java WebStart applications in a 64-bit VM in a 64-bit browser on the supported platforms

* Lightweight/heavyweight component mixing (4811096) - enables easier embedding

* Windows Server 2008 support

Now the best part - all of these features have already been integrated in the early access builds. You can check the latest (b02) one out on the http://jdk6.dev.java.net portal, or directly at the download page - http://download.java.net/jdk6/. The plan is to publish all builds until the GA (General Availability) release, so check back often for new builds.

Give it a try and let us if you encounter any issues. The best way is through this page.

Era ora che supportassero x86_64. Io mi trovo gia benissimo con icedtea, ma se con questo funziona anche l'interfaccia web del cisco potrei farci un pensierino..

Per ora mi trovo bene con la JVM di IBM che non ha il plugin , ma tanto non me ne faccio niente

Con eclipse e la JDK Sun ho un sacco di crash sulla 64 bit! Qualcuno sa qualcosa a riguardo?
