Please update sun-java6 update 12

[goodsforyou]

sun-java6 update 12 was released, there is a new plugin for firefox and amd64, this is very important to run JavaFX.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

As i recall the AMD64 plugin is unstable and has not been released by sun for public use. However the update 12 should be added to Intrepid and Hardy if no bugs are present that will cause unstabilty

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

These are also not backports, these should be included in security or updates repos

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I cant add nominations for some damn reason will someone please nominate Intrepid and Hardy

Scatxh that i was thinking flash amd64

[Michael B. Trausch (mtrausch)]

Sun Java 6u12 is an official release for all platforms. I must add to the votes for it, as it has a working 64-bit plugin for Web browsers which is considerably more stable in my usage here than any of the other Java plugins available in Intrepid, including the OpenJDK one. Please reconsider this backport to Intrepid.

And please enable the new java browser plugin (libnpjp2.so):

Not the old one (javaplugin.so)

You can test if you have the new plugin enabled by visiting this page:
