I think the AWT/Swing approach was flawed from the start.. lets avoid some problems by doing it all ourselves.. and inheriting a squillion more. As mentioned in the SWT interview, if the native platform gets a feature, you just inherit it. I think it's one of the reasons Java on the Desktop

Peter, Ok, yes. That's fine. But since you did bring up the ACID point again, I will try a brief clarification. I was trying to point out that the persistent stores, whatever they are under BASE systems, will use some form of AID to safely and reliably persist the results of replicated memory

Stack and heap are both memories of RAM. Stack is a common place for most of memory storage. Both of these allocated memory inside jvm. Heap is a dedicated memory storage created only when we initialize using the new operator. They are easily freed or garbage collected when no more required.

Well, it's not so clear cut with the new VMs. It will even put entire object into a register if it can. class Thing { short a; short b; } You have the normal thread stack space which it uses when it detects locality of reference. Then you have the eden space which is a stack
