We recently migrated from Java 4 to Java 6 and found out that Copy To Clipboard from JTable, JTextBox etc. just didn’t work.

String selection = “Clip This”;
StringSelection data = new StringSelection(selection);
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(data, data);

Then I happened to notice that there was an exception on startup and it couldn’t find flavormap.properties.

FileNotFoundException:C:\Program%20Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\flavormap.properties

It occurred to me at that point that the there was a SPACE in the location “Program Files” and God Knows why thats not handled correctly. So I simply uninstalled Java 6 from its Default Location and reinstalled it in C:\jdk1.6.0_6 and that did it for me.

Are you getting a SQL Server error saying that FIRST or LAST are not recognized or unsupported?

Error:’FIRST’ is not a recognized built-in function name. Number:195 Severity:15 State:10

Thats because they’re not.

SELECT LotFk, FIRST(RedemptionPeriodDate) as RedemptionPeriodDate -- ERROR 
FROM InvRegister
GROUP BY LotFk

Workaround is to use MIN or MAX

SELECT LotFk, MIN(RedemptionPeriodDate) as RedemptionPeriodDate -- VALID
FROM InvRegister
GROUP BY LotFk
