From: Krist on 3 May 2010 23:54 Hi gurus, In our JSF/JSP application we use applet to do client side printing. The chalenge is that the application must run on various windows version, i.e : Win 98, Win ME, Win XP, Win Vista & Win 7. Is there any known concern/issue on this applet portability for those WIndows versions ? Thank you very much, Krist

The current version of Java no longer runs on Win98 and WinME. JDK 1.5 no longer supports Win NT. I don't know about Win2K. The current version runs on XP, Vista and Windows 7. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com What is the point of a surveillance camera with insufficient resolution to identify culprits?

Java 1.6 supports 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 per http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/system-configurations.html Java 1.5 supports 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 per http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html It seems as if you are OK by targetting Java 1.5!

For a while -- but isn't 1.5 in end-of-life now?

In reality, it's very widespread and becoming more so as shops finally come around to upgrading from 1.4. Furthermore, targeting Java 5 is not the same as restricting to Java 5. You don't lose the Java 6 customers by targeting Java 5. As to why someone now would upgrade to Java 5 from earlier versions and not to Java 6, well, you'd have to ask them why they'd do such a durn-fool thing. -- Lew No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. - H.
