Overview
This document summarizes
changes made in the most current update release
and contains links to prior update release information.
Update releases are bug fix releases and as such are generally not intended to
add to or delete functionality in the original 1.2.2 release.
Note that bug fixes in previous update versions are also included in
the current update versions.
To determine the version of your JDK software, use the following command:
java -version
Bug Parade
This document contains summary descriptions of bug fixes.
In most cases, the bug ID number in each description below
is a link to the full, detailed bug report on the
Java Developer Connection's Bug Parade web site.
Bug Parade also enables you to file your own bug reports, add comments
to existing bug reports, and vote for the bugs you consider most
important. Bug Parade is located at

-Xoptimize Command-line Option
The -X options provided in each release are specific to the VM
implementation in that release and are subject to change in subsequent
releases.
The virtual machine (VM) in version 1.2.2_11 (and prior versions) of
the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, recognizes the experimental -Xoptimize
command-line option. Subsequent update versions of the Java 2 SDK
1.2.2 do not and will not
have the -Xoptimize option, and the use of this flag is strongly
discouraged. Performance results using this flag have been very mixed,
and there have been failures associated with its use.
Use of more recent releases of the Java 2 SDK such as versions 1.3.1
and 1.4.1 is strongly encouraged. These versions have many performance
and reliability improvements as compared with version 1.2.2, and they
are a better choice for deployment.
Changes in the Most Recent Update Release
Bug fixes in the most current update versions are listed in the following table.
The Fix Status column indicates the operating system and version
to which the bug fix applies:
1.2.2_017 - fixed in this update release
1.2.2_17 - fixed in this update release
NA - not applicable
X - fix scheduled for a future release
If a bug was fixed in a version prior to 1.2.2_017 or 1.2.2_17, the prior
release version is noted.
