Are we allowed to use Java 5 or even Java 6? In my assignment I read that I have to use Java 2 Platform. What does this mean exactly?

Hi Eddie,

You can use java 5 or 6 to develop your assigment (compile with it, really you can do with 1.4 but i think it is too old), and finally before you submit it you must test it with java version that is not more of 18 months old (actually java 6).

I hope it helps you.

As far as I understood, we can use Java 5 up until June 2008 (Sun's Java 6 was released around Dec 06).

This is IMPORTANT to me as using a Java 6 updated version on OS X will NOT be possible (it seems) until the release of OS X 10.5 (on October 2007) ...
Of course, I will test on other OS before submitting (but my dev machine is running OS X) ...
