New package java-1.5.0-sun

New java-1.5.0-sun packages that comprise Sun's 1.5.0 SDK release are now
available.

The following packages comprise Sun's 1.5.0 Java release:

java-1.5.0-sun
java-1.5.0-sun-demo
java-1.5.0-sun-devel
java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc
java-1.5.0-sun-plugin
java-1.5.0-sun-src

These packages include the Sun Java 5 Runtime Environment, Sun Java 5
Software Development Kit, and Sun's 1.5.0_12 SDK release.

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.

Java users are advised to install these packages.

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.
