Yes, interesting. I stumbled on this thing because RAIDar
upgraded to 4.3.4. Seems 4.3.3 has a really old 6upd?? that
has a known exploit in its' jre. Fine. Sorta get it.
This new 4.3.4 version contained the 'early' 7upd?, but was
quickly patched to 7upd1. The ReadyNAS security gurus are
lobbying the JEDI to patch again to 7upd2.
I upgraded to 7upd2 for this client.
So far, only FireFox has barked about 7upd2. FF901 disables
the Java Console (7.0.1); but does not stop me from using
Java on those sites that require it.
Today I learned where the new 'secure-locked-browser icon'
is. Very cute, and, much nicer than the yellow padlock in the
lower right corner. Also tested all of my 'secure' "banking"
sites. All of them played w/o error. Very positive. I can now
walk away from IE8 w/o tears or worry! FF901 looks to be a
very good year-end gift. Thanks Collective!

I have not been paying attention to versions and who owns what, but all we are
rolling out at work is 6upd30, no 7 stuff at all..
Hmm...

Interesting. Suppose I will do some more study. So far, I'm told that
6upd30 is the last jre under the Sun Micro banner. 7upd1 is roughly
the same jre, but now under the Oracle banner. Both of these versions
have a security glitch, hence the release of 7upd2 via Oracle. Hmm?
Back to the forums again.............. :)

I can wait for Mozilla and Oracle to sort out their Java (7upd2)
7upd2 isn't really an official release version. You should be running
6upd30. Don't ask me why, but 7 it also doesn't with Open/Libre Office.
