FPUpdater tool to address Java Security bulletin

Randolph Knippel — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:37:30 GMT

Has anyone had any success using the FPUdater tool to update JDK and JRE software to address the Java Security bulletin. I have attempted to use it, but it just hangs after issuing the following messages:
whsemr03:/# $JRE_HOME/bin/java -jar /home/misrek/fpupdater.jar -u -v
FPUpdater
java.home: /opt/java1.5/jre
java.vendor: Hewlett-Packard Co.

Updating files. Please note this can take several minutes to run. Allow FPUpdater tool to complete.

I've given it several hours. It does nothing.

Thanks,
Randy

Shalom Randy,

Most applications like Oracle come with their own java these days.

That being said, http://www.hp.com/go/java

Has current updates for OS java and should be used to handle these updates.

Shouldn't take several hours. But you might check with tusc what it does or does not...

Had to export PTHREAD_COMPAT_MODE=1 to get the tool to work on Java 5.
