I believe Sun recommends upgrading. Whatever version I have currently
installed in SuSE 9.0, obtained directly from Sun, fails Sun's own
javascript tests (I forget the URL they provide for that).


What does that mean? Java has nothing to do with javascript, other than a similarity in name. Java is from Sun, javascript is from netscape. They are not related, and use nothing from each other.


All I know is one website referred me to a URL on java.sun.com for some compatibility test. This was after a javascript failed to execute properly. The test on Sun reported failure, and the recommendation was to upgrade the JRE to 1.5.
