We are about to update to 1.4.2_13 as we are using 5.1.2 server and mid-tier, however I have to finish testing to see what issues we face by not upgrading to 6.3 p 20 or 7.0.1 p 1 before the DST shift. I expect to have an answer for you by the end of the week. Otherwise, I have seen most of the versions of jre between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 work fine with our users. It's JDK/JRE 5.0 that I'm worried about when we upgrade to 7.0.1. Fortunately, 7.0.1 still works with 1.4.2 as well.

Unfortunately we since upgraded to Mid-Tier 6.3 so I can't answer for the _13 patch with 5.1.2. Mid-Tier 6.3 has not had any problems with 1.4.2_13.

How about the 6.3 mid-tier?? Our security people are frothing at the mouth over some new Java exploit and want us to be on Java 1.4.2_13, which is what we have been installing on our new 7.x servers. Our 5.1.2 servers are still on 1.4.1_02, and I have NO CONFIDENCE that any Java application from BMC Remedy will run properly on any version of Java except the one that it was developed against. Since you have to uninstall the old Java and then install the new, this isn't going to be downtime-free, quick-fix anyway. Just wondered if anyone has a "success" story yet.
