New java-1.5.0-ibm packages

New java-1.5.0-ibm packages that comprise IBM's 1.5.0 SDK release are now
available.

The following packages comprise IBM's 1.5.0 Java release:

java-1.5.0-ibm
java-1.5.0-ibm-demo
java-1.5.0-ibm-devel
java-1.5.0-ibm-javacomm
java-1.5.0-ibm-jdbc
java-1.5.0-ibm-plugin
java-1.5.0-ibm-src

These packages include the IBM Java 5 Runtime Environment and the IBM Java
5 Software Development Kit.

The Java 5 Runtime Environment (JRE) consists of the Java virtual machine,
the Java platform core classes and supporting files, and includes a Web
browser plug-in for running Java applets. It is the runtime section of the
Java 5 SDK, but without the development tools such as compilers and debuggers.

The Java 5 Software Development Kit (SDK) is a development environment for
building applications, applets, and components that can be deployed on the
Java platform. The Java 5 SDK software includes tools useful for
developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language.
The Java 5 SDK software also includes a JDBC/ODBC bridge for Java
applications that need to communicate with a database.

These new packages include IBM's 1.5.0 SDK release.

Users of java-1.4.2-ibm may install these new 1.5.0 packages in parallel
and switch between the new and old Java environments using the alternatives
tool.

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.
