Sun Microsystems Inc. Wednesday officially released the beta of the next version of its standard Java platform, Java 2 Standard Edition 1.5, making the technology available for download from its Web site.


The new release gains several ease-of-use features for developers, the company said. Among the new language changes in the release that assist developers are generic types, metadata, autoboxing of primitive types, enumerated types, static import, C style formatted input/output, variable arguments, concurrency utilities and a simpler RMI (Remote Method Invocation) interface generation, Sun said.
