Or I could try to ask some folks here for a site that might show me the differences and meanings ... "And so you wouldn't put any effort into learning what those differences were? So you could make an informed choice? Up to you, obviously" I never said I have not tried to make some sense of it. Like one fellow once corrected me many years ago for seeming to be making fun of others, I now ask you. Why all the bastardization? Example of what I am running into... Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 delivers improved reliability and compatibility for Java SE 6, J2SE 5.0 and J2SE 1.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 and later. The release updates Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_07, J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_16, and J2SE 1.4.2 to 1.4.2_18. The update is available through Software Update and the Apple Support website. The parts in bold seem contradictory. When I read things like Updates J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_16 it seems like more of a downgrade to me. Going from 5.0 to version 1.50_16 WTH?!!" ________________________________ From: Hassan Schroeder To: ruby-talk ML Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 9:10:17 PM Subject: Re: ruby IDE's On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 8:50 PM, Garry Freemyerwrote: > With ruby, its all called ruby and it's not so confusing, but if I saw a set of programs under conglomerates Ruby and Ruby2, I would be left wondering what version of which I should get for a particular purpose.
