The versions of Java and related tools in /usr/local/bin on SLAC unix
will be updated to the latest security patch levels at 10am on Wednesday
18th November
Java 1.5 -> 1.5.0_22
Java 1.6 -> 1.6.0_17
At the same time the default version of Java will become 1.6 instead of
1.5 (since 1.5 has now reached end-of-life and will not be updated for
future security issues). The new versions are available now for testing,
for example:
setenv JAVAVER 1.6.0_17
java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)
As always documentation on the full list of Java versions available at
SLAC and instructions on how to select the version you wish can be
accessed at:
