java-1.4.2-bea bug fix update

An updated java-1.4.2-bea package which removes support for WebStart and
the Java plugin as well as updating daylight savings information for New
Zealand is now available.

The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.4.2_12 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit
Virtual Machine 1.4.2_12 and are certified for the Java 2 Platform,
Standard Edition, v1.4.2.

The Java 2 Runtime Environment consists of the Java virtual machine, the
Java platform core classes, and supporting files, including a Web browser
plugin for running Java applets. This is the runtime part of the Java 2
SDK without the development tools such as compilers and debuggers.

The Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) is a development environment for
building applications, applets, and components that can be deployed on the
Java platform. The Java 2 SDK software includes tools useful for
developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language.
The Java 2 SDK software also includes a JDBC/ODBC bridge for Java
applications that needs to communicate with a database.

The following packages comprise BEA's JRockit 1.4.2_12:

java-1.4.2-bea
java-1.4.2-bea-console
java-1.4.2-bea-demo
java-1.4.2-bea-devel
java-1.4.2-bea-jdbc
java-1.4.2-bea-src

BEA has discontinued support for the Java plugin and WebStart. There is no
java-1.4.2-bea-plugin sub-package included in this release, and installing
these packages will remove any java-1.4.2-bea-plugin package you have
installed. Likewise, this release does not include the
java-1.4.2-bea-console sub-package and installing these packages will
remove any java-1.4.2-bea-console package you have installed.

This release also includes updates to zoneinfo accounting for the extension
of New Zealand Daylight Savings Time to 27 weeks per year.

All users of the JRockit 1.4.2 release series should upgrade to these
updated packages, which resolve these issues.
