Answer» Introducing Java SE 6 Update 10 Beta
QuoteDon't be fooled by its unassuming name: the upcoming Java SE 6 update 10 (currently in beta release) is a very different animal than the updates that preceded it. Java SE 6u10 pushes the envelope by adding more new features and functionality than in any previous Java PROGRAMMING language update release, including many that have been a long time coming.
Officially, a "Java update release" is a release in which only the fourth version number (the 10 in 1.6.0_10) changes. Unlike major releases, update releases are not allowed to add, remove, or change any public APIs, and generally this has limited update releases to only containing bug fixes. 6u10 likewise contains no new or changed public APIs -- but despite that restriction, we still managed to squeeze in some incredible new features.

Thanx for the Heads Up ! !
GOOD to see Java is finally cuttin you a check now and then...
I just wonder where update 7, 8 and 9 went
Maybe the final is going to be version 7.Just cash the checks daily and don't give it a second thought....
Heh....I nearly got in trouble doing that once
Just kidding Nice $$ smiley. But I think Java would be the last thing I'd want to beta TEST.
