I wonder how you managed to have public access to Java 0.7, internal Sun releases?



Do you know, I simply don't remember - maybe it was 1.0, but I have a feeling that I downloaded a beta and was overjoyed at being able to scrap all my hoaky c++ sockets / CORBA code and reimplement in something amazingly easy called RMI !

Not sure why I thought 0.7, perhaps I was wishful thinking wrt. how much change happened in early Java, but I think that the conventions of version numbering hadn't settled in the same way as they have now.


The public release was 1.0, quickly followed by 1.0.1.

I also shared the same feeling, given the chaos of writing portable C++ code back then.
