Changes in 1.4.2_14

The official version number for this update release is 1.4.2_14-b05.

US Daylight Savings Time Sun Alert 102836

Bug 6530336 that was part of Sun Alert 102836, has been fixed in this release. As a result, it is no longer necessary to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag to work around this bug. Bug 6466476, that was also part of Sun Alert 102836 has not yet been fixed. If your application uses the deprecated java.util.Timezone IDs and is sensitive to the behavior outlined in 6466476, you will still need to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag as a work-around. Note that running tzupdater with the -bc flag does not hinder the fix for 6530336 in any way.

This release contains Olson time zone data version 2007a. If you need the latest Olson data (currently 2007c) in order to accommodate the America/Indiana/Winamac changes (see US Daylight Savings Time Changes and the Java SE Platform: FAQ (Appendix)), then you will need to run the tzupdater (with -bc flag as appropriate) after installing this release. Please see Sun Java SE JDK tzupdater Tool for more information on how to do this.

Changes in 1.4.2_09

Notes

  • Serviceability Improvements - Update release 1.4.2_09 includes the following serviceability improvement backports from JDK 5.0:
    • When a fatal error occurs, an error log is created in the file hs_err_pid<pid>.log (where <pid> is the process id of the process). Where possible, the file is created in the working directory of the process. In the event that the file cannot be created in the working directory (insufficient space, permission problem, or other issue) then the file is created in the temporary directory for the operating system. On Solaris and Linux, the temporary directory is /tmp. On Windows, the temporary directory is specified by the value of the TMP environment variable, or if that is not defined, the value of the TEMP environment variable. The error log contains a lot of information obtained at the time of the fatal error. Where possible it includes:
      • the operating exception or signal that provoked the fatal error
      • version and configuration information
      • details on the thread that provoked the fatal error and its stack trace
      • the list of running threads and their state
      • summary information about the heap
      • the list of native libraries loaded
      • command line arguments
      • environment variables
      • details about the operating system and cpu
      For more details, see Section 2.2.1 of the JDK 5.0 Troubleshooting Guide ).
    • For Solaris OS only, the experimental jmap utility from JDK5.0 has been backported to 1.4.2_09. See jmap utility.

Notes

  • Important Notice for Chinese Locales using Linux

    The default font server configuration on Red Hat 2.1 does not include the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType fontpath in its "where to look for fonts" catalog section. Therefore all font names defined in that directory that include the fonts for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese are not visible to the X font server. The direct consequence of this defect is that Java applications are not able to use Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese in all awt components even if the Java runtime (1.4.2_06) includes the correct font configuration. To solve this problem, the user needs to login as root and follow the steps shown below to modify the default xfs configuration before running a Java application in a Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese locale.

    • Use your text editor ( vi for example) to open the /etc/X11/fs/config configuration file.
    • Insert the line below into the "catalogue" section using the tab key at the beginning of the line and a comma (,) at the end of the line.

      • /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType,

      The result should look like:

      Catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/korean,

              /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType,
              /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/95dpi:unscaled,
              /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/95dpi:unscaled,
              ....
    • Save/Exit your editor.
    • Send a SIGHUP signal to the xfs process to refresh the xfs font server using the following command to find out the xfs process id.

      • ps -eax |grep xfs

      Then use the following command to refresh the xfs. The nnn is the process id you got from the ps command mentioned above.

      kill -s SIGHUP nnn

      In case this last step was unsuccessful, restarting the machine should yield the same result.

Changes in 1.4.2_01

The official version number for this update release is 1.4.2_01-b06.

At this release, the Java Update feature is installed when the J2RE is installed. Java Update can automatically update your computer with the latest J2RE release.

Known Problems

  • This release introduces a new Java™ icon for the desktop and control panel. On Microsoft operating systems, if you upgrade from a prior JRE to this release, or if this release is installed and you then install an earlier release, either the classic Java icon or the new Java icon may be displayed. The possible inconsistency is due to various factors such as icon cache limits and system configuration. The inconsistency relates only to icon display, not to the JRE itself.

    The associated bug number is 4892335.

  • When downloading the J2SE 1.4.2 JRE or SDK to a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server machine that is behind any type of Proxy (even if correctly configured), a problem occurs. The problem is seen after downloading the "Windows Installation" from the J2SE 1.4.2 Download page

    When you click to install the download, a network error occurs, and the installation must be aborted.

    The workaround is to either download the "Windows Offline Installation" or install on a machine that isn't behind a proxy.

    The associated bug number is 4896643.

  • A bug in the Java 1.4.2 Web Start installer causes the Java Web Start desktop icon to be overwritten. Double-clicking the icon invokes the 1.4.2 Java Web Start application manager, even if a later release of Java is already installed.

    The associated bug number is 4899728.

  • A problem occurs when downloading the J2SE 1.4.2 JRE or SDK to a Microsoft Windows XP Home/Professional machine with BITS service disabled. The problem is seen after downloading the "Windows Installation" from the J2SE 1.4.2 Download page

    When you click on "Update Now," to run Java Update, Java Update fails silently after it is invoked. You see a balloon message that updates are available; then on selecting "download," the download begins and suddenly the taskbar icon goes away and nothing happens.

    The workaround is to enable BITS from the ControlPanel on XP.

    The associated bug number is 4900711.

  • On any Microsoft Windows 64-bit (Itanium processor) system, the registry key ( HKLM/Software/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.4) and the CurrentVersion value of the registry key ( HKLM/Software/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit) are removed during uninstall. This only occurs when both J2SDK 1.4.2 and J2SDK 1.4.2_01 are installed on the system, and then either 1.4.2 or 1.4.2_01 is uninstalled.

    The associated bug number is 4904701.
