[OKC JUG] Fun Questions about Java

[Jason Daggs]

Well, I guess since I asked I should answer.

But, there are so many likes and dislikes that are already on other
peoples lists.  Let me try to be unique.

I don't like that there is a java.util.Date and a java.sql.Date.

I like the community.

I don't like debugging classloader issues especially when you write your own;)

I like JSF.  There are a lot of quality component libraries out there.

well, my list is not totally unique I would say.  But, there it is.

Now how about a new topic.  Perhaps someone else can have a turn.
