which one better to write scjp with java1.4 or 1.5?
There's no need for anyone to write either exam, Sun has done a good job at it several years ago.
If you mean you want to attempt getting certifiable, there's little reason not to go with the latest unless you are actually working in an environment (and will be for the foreseeable future) where 1.4 or earlier are actually used to the exclusion of 1.5.
I have found 1.5 to be much much harder than the exam I took for 1.2.
Rumor, that I heard, was that 1.4 was easier that 1.2.
If you come before me for in interview, I will respect a 1.5 cert way more than 1.4.
Besides 1.6 is out. If I am looking for new employees. I want someone familiar with all the latest versions.
there is no 1.6 exam, probably will never be.
The 1.4 exam was easier in some ways than the 1.2, harder in others.
It's also a lot more geared towards the parts of the system people actually use, dumping AWT for more thorough coverage of things like multithreading and Collections.
