Java Faqs - What is the latest version of JDK? Is Java "Year 2000"-compliant?

Latest version is J2SE™ v1.3, still u can find updated at http://www.javasoft.com/
Java is Y2K compliant in release JDK 1.1.6 and later. See, Prior to this release there were certain corner case bugs that had to be fixed. The Date class, as you can see from the discussion, contains more than enough resolution to represent dates in this century and the next and the last. The SimpleDateFormat when parsing a 2 digit year could cause problems.
