Which java version should I code the SCJD assignment?

Hi All,
I am planning to take SCJD (maybe within a year or earlier). But I am confused as to in which version of java should I submit the assignment(CX-310-252A). I read in "All in one Java 2 SCJP..." book by Kathy Seirra that we must not use a verison (of java) that is more than 18 months older than the current production java version as it would be deemed "out-of-date" by the exam assessors (pg 563).
So going by the same line of thought, does it mean that I can submit the aasignment only in 1.6 (release date-dec 12 2006) and not in java 1.5 or 1.4. Also, if 1.7 gets released early next year and if I am coding in 1.6, then I would have to submit the assignment by june 2008 (or else it would become outdated).
The various java version release dates can be found at: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javareleasedates.html
Please help me solve this version confusion. (I prefer submitting in 1.4 as I have completed SCJP 1.4)
SCJP 85%, SCWCD 91%
"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them"

1.5 is no longer a valid platform 18 months after the
initial public release of 1.6.
What that means is that your code should work on 1.6
without modifications from that date.Where did you find that information?
It's a bit strange since this is what The EOL for Java says:
"Technology EOL Policy
Major Product Family Releases
This would include such products as Java 2 Platform,
Standard Edition 1.4.2 and 5.0. The Java technology policy
is to support the current shipping version of Java
Standard Edition plus two back versions. Once the
End-of-Life process starts on a major product family
release, a notice will be posted on all relevant download
pages stating that the product has entered the EOL
process and how long the process will continue until the
product is no longer supported by Sun."http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html
So that means that 1.4.2 will enter EOL when Java 7 is released. How can a version that hasn't entered the EOL life cycle not be valid?

  • ASDM - which Java version?

    Unable to launch device manager.
    I'm trying to run ASDM and targeting a mixture of 5505 and 5510s. I'm using Mac (Yosemite) and Windows 7 machines.
    5505 is 6.2, 5510 is 9.x
    Oh whatever.
    Which Java versions will work? 

    Due to security reasons you should always update Java to the latest version. So the question is not which Java to use, but which ASDM works with the newest Java.
    If you always upgrade your ASAs to the latest ASDM, then you should be able to use the ASDM. At least that works for me (OS 10.10.2 and also Win7).

    Which JAVA version is most stable in 1.6 series?

    Ideally that would be the latest and greatest available.
    In practice, it depends on a whole lot of unknowns. Different JVMs can perform differently on different OSes and with different configs

    with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version.  If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app.  You will need to get a more up to date phone

  • Java - version does not return the version??

    Hi,
    The following is from a cmd window
    C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2\bin>java -version
    C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2\bin>
    It seems to be missing the expected:
    java version "1.2.2"
    Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2_006, native threads, symcjit)
    Another side effect is that any application using java to launch creates a java process (briefly observed through task manager) and then dies almost instantly.
    The machine is a Win2000 Server running JRE 1.2.2_006, I've tried uninstalling, re-installing, rebooting (between unistalling and reinstalling), setting the path and classpath variables to nothing and running from the folder.
    Anyone seens this before? know what the resolution is?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Thanks for the response, I've already tried that with no success.
    It appears that it might be related to the fact that it's installed on a VMWare machine.
    The java -version command works fine on the VMWare machine when the VM is running on the host machine that it was built on, however when the VMWare machine was moved to a new host it seems that when you run the java interpreter it launches and then just dies??
    I still don't have an answer for why the Java -version does not work.
    As I said before I have uninstalled and reinstalled JRE 1.2.2 a couple of times with no success, however a workaround appears to be to install the JRE 1.3.1.
    After installing JRE 1.3.1 the java -version command works, fortunately the java applications I am using 'seem' to be compatible (with a few modifications to path variables etc) with the 1.3.1 version�.
    Thanks

  • Which iOS version is running on the iPhone 4s 8 GB 2014 version?

    Hey !
    I just wanna know which iOS version is preinstalled on the iPhone 4s 8GB they selling since this year.
    Much thanks !

    You are never forced to update. You would just need to live with whatever version was on it. However, I'd recommend against the 4S. 8gigs is not enough memory for most people. It's rarely a good idea to buy tech that's already been discontinued by the manufacturer.

  • Which Java version is recommended for widest compatibility?

    I started learning and coding with JDK 1.1_Final, but particular code elements do not seem to be working. For example, overriding update() to not clear the screen and instead only call paint() has no effect at all - the screen still gets cleared! I had hoped to compile using 1.1.x for maximum browser compatibility, but if the language version doesn't work then there's little point in using it. So, with the release of Java 2 and SDK 1.4.x, what are people doing out there to code applets that will reach the widest target audience? I've restricted my HTML code limited to the 4.x browsers or higher, but haven't yet found a listing of which versions of Java are compatible with which versions of browsers. (Sun's FAQ is incomplete in this matter.) So, I'm not quite sure how to balance the compatibility issues and decide which version of Java to use for reaching a reasonable 'maximum' target audience without forcing site visitors to upgrade their browsers for viewing my applets. (I hate sites like that!) So, what version of Java do you use for applets, and why? What browser versions are you compatible with? What other issues should I be considering? Thanks for helping me to select an appropriate Java applet version that will reach the most people.

  • Which Java Version to Download

    Hi,
    I need to download Java and I can see the J2SE and J2EE in the sun download site. Which one should I get? What is the difference between the two?
    I remember downloading Java before and it was J2SDK and I can't find that version. What is the SDK version?
    Thanks,
    -Ray

    SDK is the 'core' of what you need to program in java. It contains the compiler and various tools that are prerequisites, and some important libraries that you will probably need in any area of java. On top of that you can get extensions, and extra libraries to... umm extend the development capability of your setup. J2EE does like webby stuff such as JSP, servlet, XML type twiddling etc., and is one such extension (thats prob not the correct term for it, but it helps for understanding). J2ME is confusingly not like this! It is a cut-down set of libraries for use on very limited architecture such as mobile devices.
    Get the SDK first, as it is essential. You don't need anything else initially.

  • Which JAVA version I am running now?

    Today when I check the java version on my 10.8.2 MacBook Pro, 13 inch, Mid 2010, I found the following.
    From terminal:
    javac -version
    javac 1.7.0_05
    From Java Control Panal:
    Java 7 Update 9
    From the about box of JaxaFX Scene Builder:
    Java Version
    1.7.0_06, Oracle Corporation, 1.7.0_06-b23
    Which one I should trust?

    If you did the recent update - who knows, but checking the Oracle site may provide the best insight.
    I updated on of my Macs, and an totally confused - will not update my other OS X computers utill this gets sorted out.
    Here is a link that may help in going back to Java 6;

    I couldn't get it to work via the terminal but maybe you can.
    Let us know if you make progress.

  • Which Java Version to develop Java-XML Programs

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone could help me figure out which java bundle to download to be able to compile and run java files using the XML parser classes, and also, do I need any third party api's or somthing to use SAX and DOM.
    Sincerely
    Fredrik G�rander

    do I need any third party api's or somthing to use SAX and DOMSince it doesn't come with Java you are going to need something.
    I would suggest finding that first and then getting the jdk/jre that matches the version that it requires.

  • Which Java Version

    I have a new laptop (PC Windows 7 Ultimate). When I tried to build and debug with screens, it said that Java isn't installed. I thought all new PCs came with Java installed. Regardless, given this configuration, does OPM require a specific version of Java? or will whatever is the latest be ok?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Terry,
    Any java version 1.5 or later should work, so the latest should be fine.
    Cheers

  • JConnector - which Java Version is supportet?

    Hi we have to develop a solution which connects a PDA (Windows Mobile) to the SAP System. We tried to use JAVA 1.5 but the virtual machine of our PDA does not support JAVA 1.5. It only supports JAVA up to version 1.3.
    So my question: Does JConnector 2.1.2 support JAVA version 1.3?
    Best regards
