Hi,
with some fuzz around Windows 7, does somebody have experiences with Java compatibility with Windows 7? Should this be a concern or do the programs probably work ok?
I'd be especially interested if somebody has experiences with Swing applications?
The versions available seem to be beta versions so they won't provide perfect basis for evaluation but some.
br, Touko
I have been using various Java apps on my Win 7 x64 box just fine and never had any problems. Even some of my oldt poorly coded swing apps have worked without issues.
For the most part, Win 7 is Vista in new clothing. Shouldn't have much issues because of that.
Your biggest concern is having the right Java runtime installed. WHen that is out of the way you can expect properly written Swing programs to work identically.
(With proper I refer to not having hardcoded button sizes or similar)
