Hi,
 
We're currently running an older version that's vulnerable :
# java -fullversion
java full version "Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_10"

Thus I went to the url http://java.sun.com/j2se/
& downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_08-nb-4_1-solsparc.bin
& tried installing it as follows :
./j2sdk-1_4_2_08-nb-4_1-solsparcAP200480606.bin
InstallShield Wizard
Initializing InstallShield Wizard...
Preparing Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
...................................
The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running
  the installer with the -console or -silent flag.
 
So I rerun it :
# ./j2sdk-1_4_2_08-nb-4_1-solsparcAP200480606.bin -silent
# java -fullversion
java full version "Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_10"

My questions are :
a)why is the version still showing as 1.2.2_10?
b)is there any install logs to show that the
   installation is successful?
c)do I need to reboot for it to take effect?
d)do I need to remove the previous/older
   version before installing this?
e)does this software/package that I've downloaded
   contain/cover both SDK & JRE?
 
As I can't find the Installation Guide, I just tried
what my instinct tells me (since this is not a .pkg
file, I'm not using pkgadd).
 
Thanks for any help,
G Sun
