There is already update 2 to java 6 realeased by Sun. Why Ubuntu repositories are still not updated? On Windows machine I got already automatic message from Java "updates found" - why Ubuntu does not keep up with it?
As it was stated already: Ubuntu Feisty was declared to contain "full Java stack" - but Java 6 ("update0") is virtually useless on Compiz, and contains some bugs.
Please update the sun-java6 package to version 6 update 2 !
This seems very simple job - the JDK6u2 is shipped already (perhaps will require some repackaging) simply put it into Ubuntu repositories. As simple as that, and should help many people using Swing applications on Ubuntu.
