Does anyone know if there is a need to upgrade WSAD 5.0 with the new release of fixpack 2 (WAS 5.0.2).
Also how do i switch to JDK 1.4 with WSAD since WAS 5.0.2 needs JDK 1.4.
Please see the following for what;s new in WAS 5 fixpack 2.

In WSAD, going to Help-->Software Updates should give you the latest.

The note said client container ........server side 1.4 jdk is yet to come......
Open
Move closer to J2EE 1.4 with JDK 1.4
WebSphere Application Server, V5.0.2 includes support for the JDK 1.4 client container, the first step
toward J2EE 1.4 compliance. With JDK 1.4, enterprises can use Java technology to develop more
demanding business applications with less effort and in less time. Improved functionality in 1.4 means
developers can now spend less time writing custom code to accomplish the same goal as functions that
are now part of the core JDK platform. This improvement allows developers to use a single technology
to develop, test, and deploy end-to-end enterprise applications and solutions.
