Java6

[EgonOlsen]

As you may have noticed, Java6 has been released. I did some quick and dirty tests with jPCT and got (on a Core2Duo machine @ 3.2GHz) around 5% more performance in hardware and up to 26%!! more performance in software rendering mode. So if nothing speaks against it, i suggest to upgrade to get a few extra fps.

I am having problems with it.

The version I downloaded from the sun site 1.6.0-b105. Well, it seems is beta.

But oftenly I receive jvm errors like:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00004900, pid=1560, tid=3384
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.6.0-b105 mixed mode, sharing)
# Problematic frame:
# C  0x00004900
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid1560.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
#   http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
#

and this errors are incresing each time. First I thought there was problems with my code, but now the errors appear even when just launching the GUI of my app. The problematic frame is always different.

It's not beta. The b.... in Java's version string stands for "build" not for "beta". Anyway...could this be related to your graphics driver? Something must be seriously wrong for the VM to crash that hard on your machine.

SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE     

Ok, I am not doing any 3d stuff, It appears the most when the server receives many connections too close in time! but as I said before sometimes it appear just by launching the GUI or by running the cell simulator on the wireless toolkit. Both the mobile and the pc-server crashes. Well it may be due to the machine but I dont think so. Lets see with the new one.

Is that a generic error header?
I'm just wondering, because one of my beta testers is having big trouble, and
has sent me a similar bug:)

I've had no probs with java 1.6 - faster frame rates and the screen-saver lockup problem I'd been having has gone.
