Anything good/bad about updating from 6 to 7 ?
Google doesn't really come up with any good answers. |

Hi Ken, I had an issue after updating and had to revert back to 6. Here is a link to what happened to me. » [Compatibility] Java Update IssueZach |

Anyone running Java 7u5 on IE9 (32bit) with the "next-generation Java Plug-in" enabled able to run the "Verify Java version" on java.com? I can't get it to run (always get an error) unless I disable the "next-generation Java Plug-in". (for that matter, 7u4 also didn't work for me) |

For a few lonely poors who had problems installing recent JRE 6/7, this might be a solution: EMET: set DEP to 'Application Opt Out' to install the package, then reset DEP to 'Always On' Good luck |

I'm not sure why you think it's displaying the wrong version, GuruGuy. As I mentioned in the other thread, build 1.7.0_05-b05 is correct for Java Version 7 Update 5...it's always written out that way. Oh, and thanks, Nick. |

Did you look at my screenshot in the other thread, and also try out the test page I linked to? Unless I'm totally off the wall here, you have the most up to date version. |

Yes, I did see your screenshot. The build version showing in your screenshot is the same as mine.
However, the NEW build version is "u5". Not "b05". Thus the reason for my question, why is the build version not showing as "u5". |

Yes. However the NEW build version is "u5" and not "b05".

I guess Java.com was not offering 6.33 since I went from 6.32 to 7.05. I always update from Java.com only, and have never updated directly from Oracle. Also this version did not uninstall my previous version automatically 6.32. And what is this Java FX 2.1 component? I have not seen that before.
Thanks. |

Noticed the same thing. Have no clue what this FX 2.1.1 is and whether it can just be removed or not. |

Why is the build version showing the wrong version. The build version has nothing to do with the "update" version. 1.7.0_05-b05 absolutely IS the latest update. "1.7.0" is Java SE 7, "_05" is u5. Straight from the authoritative site ( » www.oracle.com/technetwo ··· 274.html ): The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_05-b05 (where "b" means "build") and the version number is 7u5. |

Fixed.
For some reason the forum editor attached the closing parenthesis and colon to the url - simply take these off the end of the url after you get the '404' and refresh, or click on the link in the updated post above. |

Thanks. JDK and JRE versions from 1.7.0_04 (Java 7 update 4) and onwards include JavaFX bundled to be installed with them. When Java 8 is available, JavaFX will become part of the JRE/JDK.[11] |

If I had checked here first, I would have known about it before I ran Secunia PSI, but at least the PSI also found the update. |

I can't get it to run (always get an error) unless I disable the "next-generation Java Plug-in". (for that matter, 7u4 also didn't work for me) As an alternative you can always try Michael Horowitz's Java Tester website found here: » www.javatester.org/index.htm |

Java works for me, but only if I've disabled the "next generation Java Plug-in".
It must be something I've got in my setup that's blocking the new plug-in from working...
Edit:
Found the cause. Appears to be Firewall related.
I'm using Windows 7 Firewall and have configured it to block outgoing connections. I've been using Windows Firewall Notifier to catch the outgoing connections and creating rules as needed. It appears that when the next generation Java Plug in is enabled, it's not generating an outgoing prompt (or it's blocked) and causes it to fail.
When I enable all outbound connections, the test loads fine with the next generation Java Plug in enabled.. |

The last time I tried to update to Java 7 I was unable to play the games I like on Pogo.com ... so I've had to stay at the most recent update of Java 6. I'm not certain if their website has become compatible with Java 7 yet but I don't believe they have. |
