I'm not a Java developer (I've written a few "Hello World" type things but nothing more complex than that) but from what I've seen from deploying a few Java-based systems is that while the "core" Java API may be stable, "real-world" Java systems have dependencies on things like Tomcat/Apache or other similar systems and are highly dependent on particular versions of those apps and associated libraries. -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus to Franklin in Babylon 5: "A Late Delivery from Avalon" -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
