I'm running 64-bit. Flash works. Don't know about Java. What's a good site to test that on?

Just following on from the python-gtk fiasco mentioned in another thread, I went to the above site and did THE TEST :-) , and, just as with the business of python-gtk, I am now totally c-o-n-f-u-s-e-d, to put it politely :-( .
Doing the test resulted in me being given the message, "Oooops, you are using the wrong version of java" - or words to this effect. So I go looking for the "right" version of java.
In YaST2 Software Management I can see that I have java-1_5_0-sun installed but just a little way down there is java-1_6_0-sun staring me in the face.
Both versions come from opensuse.org/update/10.3 repository so why hasn't YaST2 upgraded java to the newer 1.6 version (as indicated in the result of THE TEST)?
You need Java-1_7. It is called iced tea or something if you are running 64bit. Check the archives about a month ago.
AAAARGH!! No I don't - I don't need "Java-1_7"! (And I am not using 64-bit system.) I just want anything which will keep my sanity intact and my blood pressure within normal limits! :-) Ciao. -- If you really want to know, you won't ask me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
