Recently (2.2.2009) Java compiler was changed from jdk 5 to jdk 6.

Today I realized that jdk 6 has one very useful feature: main thread stack size is controlled by -Xss argument of command line. In jdk 5 only threads created by main one could have stack size up to specified in -Xss, but main thread stack size could not be increased.

In Java 5 this feature led to special template of program that use big stack (see for example http://acm.timus.ru/help.aspx?topic=java "Stack size" section).

In Java 6 with -Xss64M argument used on Timus any single thread program may use any amount of stack so no need in special template.

Admins, please update Java FAQ.
