http://java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp I believe.

Comment 3

[Daniel Serodio]

Linux version is wrong too, should I file a separate bug report?

Comment 4

[Cameron]

This has still not been fixed. 

The current version when I created this bug was 5.0 update 2. Since then they have released a number of further updates, and the current version is 5.0 Update 5!

The url listed on plugindoc.mozdev.org is http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jre-1_5_0_05-windows-i586.xpi

Upped severity as old versions are probably a security risk.

The links are leading to old versions, so they have to be adjusted, like this one, changed from 1.5.0_05 to 1.5.0_06:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jre-1.5.0_06-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg
It will need to be changed to 1.5.0_07 next year end of March, I assume.

This page is always up to date, but you will have to know what you need, as it offers   NetBeans IDE + JDK 5.0 Update 6,  J2EE 1.4 SDK,  JDK 5.0 Update 6, JRE 5.0 Update 6 and some more offers.

Taking. I can't believe something this critical has been around for so long! I've recently learned about cvs and such things, so a patch will come shortly.

[Hermann Schwab]

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp is offering  JRE 5.0 Update 7
JavaTM 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit 5.0 Update 7

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ReleaseNotes.html

Trying to download website gives message to be currently down, but because modifying the index was working for previous releases I suppose the download link will be: http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jre-1.5.0_07-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg

Raising severity from 'critical' to 'blocker', as there seems to be no reaction.
Currently the link offers JRE 5.0 Update 1, that's 6 update cycles old, and has a lot of crashes. Link should be to JRE 5.0 Update 7, same for all OS

https://sdlc4a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=D4FB2320E82CF944B54BE803DE7821D9

is offering J2SE(TM) Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7 for:
Windows, Linux, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, Solaris x64, Linux AMD64, Windows AMD64

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Cameron, if you haven't gotten to the patch I can take care of this along with other PFS problems.

Comment 13

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

I'm going to try to find someone at Sun to give us a URL that will always point at the latest, or something equally useful.

Have a look there:
http://java.com/en/
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Imho they are offering the latest JRE intended for consumers.
There is also a link for verifying the Java installation, and if your Java is old, I remember having been asked to confirm to update automatically, or so.

They didn't offer all updates of JRE 1.5

This problem should be solved before the next Firefox release, or maybe JRE 1.6 release, hopefully ;-)
Maybe the links above will be good until someone at SUN tells better links, about the time Firefox 5 will be released?

Comment 15

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

This .xpi was already given a while back:
https://pfs.mozilla.org/plugins/PluginFinderService.php?mimetype=application/x-java-applet&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=1.5.0.4&clientOS=Win&chromeLocale=en-US

Based on what jst said -- we can see that the windows PFS RDF offers an update, and for "PPC Mac OS X" it offers a manual installation URI.

Though one common problem is the lack of support for "Intel Mac OS X", but that's another issue.  See bug 344475.

I will update the listings to cite the proper update version for Java, and resolve this.

Update for "update version" for Java links.

I think this is pretty straightforward -- whaddya think Shaver?

Comment 18

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Patch was the wrong patch, but doesn't matter -- pointing this at a meta-bug.
