  Java SE 6 Tries Smaller Footprint, JavaScript Support
Time: 02:57 EST/07:57 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Having just emerged from a public beta process that began in the spring of 2005, and especially now that Java is an open-source project, developers will find little to be surprised about in Sun's newest Java SE 6, released yesterday.
