Sun JDK 5.0 Update 10
Published: 2006-12-20,
Last Updated: 2006-12-20 03:30:43 UTC by Bojan Zdrnja (Version: 1)
Roseman wrote to tell us that a new update for Sun JDK 5.0 has been
released. Amongst a variety of bugs that have been fixed (and some of
which seem to be ancient - check bug 4744057; "Potential deadlock
between Selector and SelectableChannel", submitted in 2002!), one
thing that caught my eye is the bug 6437047.
This "bug" was present with previous versions of Sun's JDK and is
related to the Java plugin for Internet Explorer. Previous versions of
the JDK were not properly signed which means that they were listed as
(Not verified) in Internet Explorer (you can check this by opening the
Manage add-ons tools in Internet Explorer: Tools -> Manage Add-ons ->
Enable or Disable Add-ons).
This didn't prevent JDK from working, but definitely isn't best
practice in security, where we're trying to educate our users to deny
any non signed applets/applications/components. Sun finally fixed this
(signed the plugin properly) so now the "(Not verified)" warning is
not there any more.
As JDK has automatic updates this should pop up on your machine some
time soon (by default, if I'm not wrong, it will check for new updates
only once per month). Once you install the new update version, and are
happy with it, remember that Sun has a weird habit of *not* removing
older versions from your machine, so you might want to do that
manually.
New update is available from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp.
