Conflicting JDK Advice?

On September 25 I mentioned that SwingWorker is fixed and you should upgrade your JDK.

Then, on October 2, I suggest you should avoid Java 6 thanks to a horrific bug with the Windows XP Look and Feel.

I just noticed the contradiction and had a good laugh at myself.

To summarize, if you are already using Java 6, definitely get the latest release because it really does fix a lot of bugs, including several nasty VM crashes and memory leaks.

Just avoid the XP Look and Feel.
