Comment 35 for bug 409559

@Vistaus: As you can see at https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ 6u16 was released. Updating to 6u15 isn't good enough. No, it's not packaged, and I don't plan to do so. Looking at the Debian package you'll see that it is now unsupported (orphaned), the package in Ubuntu is community maintained. So either the community steps up to maintain the package, or we can remove it as well. If it does you just 5min, then please invest the time, and prepare uploads for all releases. I know it does cost me more than this, if you can do it quicker, please do it.

@JarG0n: There is a certified and supported Java6 version in jaunty, and we'll likely have the version in karmic certified as well. Please use this one. It is correct that the java webplugin in IcedTea isn't 100% compatible with the closed-source/proprietary sun plugin, but it is worth checking your applets with this plugin as well and to use this one.
