Hi everyone, I need a small clarification on the java version i should use for my SCJD project. I believe Java SE6 was released by Dec-2006, so going by scjd's "18 months old version" rule i should only use Java SE6 and not Java SE 5. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Projects on SCJD should not be done on SE5 anymore. Although difference in version might not come in way, but still want to get it confirmed. Apprecciate if anyone can confirm whether it is ok to do project in SE5.


thanks in advance, Mahendran

Welcome to JavaRanch.

It is not OK; you need to use Java 6. Of course, you can develop it on an earlier version, but you need to ensure that it runs on the latest.

For your safety, just use the latest version of Java SE version.
