It was a Bioclipse\n<a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1532612&amp;group_id=150681&amp;atid=778609\">bug report</a> today,\nhowever, which made me patch my java-package setup and install the beta.</p>\n\n<p>So, next thing was to try to get the <a href=\"http://cdk.sf.net/\">CDK</a> compile with the Java 6 beta. Because our build system uses\nJavaDoc (anyone with a pointer with a easy to use Java parser, which parses JavaDoc too?), and because this setup is\ndifferent for literally every platform and Java version, the <a href=\"http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/trunk/cdk/build.xml?view=log\">build.xml</a>\nneeded some tweaking (patch 6719 and 6721). Additionally, a number of source files were marked as needing Java 1.5, while they actually\ndepend on features introduced in Java 5 (aka 1.5) and which are present in Java 6 (aka 1.6) too, so that needed some tweaking\ntoo (patch 6720).</p>\n\n<p>I have no idea what Java 6 will change and/or introduce, but I did note some comments on it being faster, which is always a good thing.\nThe <a href=\"http://www.junit.org/\">JUnit</a> test timings seems to agree with this. While my Java 1.5.0_06 installation needed 204 seconds\n(no duplicates), Java 1.6.0_beta2 needed only 168 seconds (no duplicates), and improvement of 18%.</p>",
