Java is completely over my horizon, regarding usage. If it doesn't run with openjdk, I normally don't run it, neither on servers nor on desktops. So that probably leaves two instructions (well, three) for that page: a) Use openjdk (if on 5, 6) b) Use SUN JDK/JRE if the above does not work for you, here's how to do it. c) Use jpackage nosrc.rpms if you insist on compliance to FHS For b) and c) stress that people *must* care about updates for themselves. Bonus points: Here's how to use Java in your browser. Especially stress the update issue here. Do I see that correctly? Ralph
