Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi forum

We have been eagerly awaiting JRE 1.5.0_12 for a long time, because reports indicated, that a critical bug for us should have been fixed finally. The same reports indicated a release date of May 8th, which now has passed.

The official site for 1.5.0 here at Sun:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

doesn�t list it yet, however, you can apparently download it from Sun here:

http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=11230

For reference, you can find the above download link by a simple Google search...

I have tested the above download and can conclude, that the mentioned bug has been fixed. What I'm just wondering a lot is... this release looks to me as a 100% official release, there's no sign of "beta" or "prerelease" or anything anywhere - but why isn't it available on the official site yet then - and when will it be?

Can somebody from Sun please shed some light over this?

Thanks,
Jacob
