There is a serious security vulnerability that is fixed by this newer JVM.
 Currently an applet can completely bypass sandboxing.  Please update soon.

See:

You can test a JVM at:

Thanks!

i want to support ia64 sun-jdk so, i need to wait for portage 2.0.50 to release
it, if it gets delayed too much ill release it only for x86 arch.

Updated on portage tree.
