Details

Updated JRockit 1.4.2 packages that fix several bugs are now available.

The following packages comprise BEA's JRockit 1.4.2_08:

java-1.4.2-bea
java-1.4.2-bea-console
java-1.4.2-bea-demo
java-1.4.2-bea-devel
java-1.4.2-bea-jdbc
java-1.4.2-bea-plugin
java-1.4.2-bea-src

The BEA WebLogic JRockit(TM) 1.4.2_08 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic
JRockit(TM) Virtual Machine 1.4.2_08 and are certified for the Java(TM)
2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.4.2.

The Java 2 Runtime Environment consists of the Java virtual machine, the
Java platform core classes, and supporting files, including a Web browser
plugin for running Java applets. It is the runtime part of the Java 2 SDK,
but without the development tools such as compilers and debuggers.

The Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) is a development environment for
building applications, applets, and components that can be deployed on the
Java platform. The Java 2 SDK software includes tools useful for
developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language.
The Java 2 SDK software also includes a JDBC/ODBC bridge for Java
applications that need to communicate with a database.

This release includes a fix for child process error stream handling, a fix
for remote call failure exceptions and other general improvements.

All users of the JRockit 1.4.2 release series should upgrade to these
updated packages, which resolve these issues.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
