EDT is an AWT concept.

Sorry about that. It's like that because I copied it directly from the
wiki link.

Oh, I didn't read documents like release notes. So what part of such
documents do you think most useful? Thanks!

Really? I've seen that use before, at least at some forums in Chinese.

That site contains release notes for all subreleases of Java 5. Java 5 first
appeared in September of '04.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history>

There's no reason to prefer Java 5 over Java 6, though as a practical matter
many (usually expensive) platforms are still not up to the most recent Java.
If forced back to Java 5, there's no real reason to lament the lack of Java 6
either.

Now to have to go back to 1.4, that's a different story!

It's hard to know when the acronym "EDT" first became widely used, but I'd
guess about five minutes after the term "event dispatch thread" was promulgated.
