[Jmol-developers] Java 1.5 ?

In fact, that would already be the case with Java 1.5. Generics are in Java 1.5 (VectorString and so on...) Java 6 doesn't have a lot of changes in the Java language itself (I think only new libraries but no language changes) Nico On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 8:13 PM, Robert Hanson
