        Requirements for S10u9 for jdk6 to be the default java.

        The implementation we discussed should ensure:

        - Java 6 will be the default version on S10U9 for customers who perform a fresh install or upgrade from a previous update.
        - Java 5 will remain the default for customers who apply a maintenance update or feature patches to get U9 features/fixes.
        - The customers will have a simple mechanism for switching the default_version back from 6 to 5 if necessary, without having to remove and/or reinstall runtime packages (this is achieved by manually recreating a symbolic link in /usr/java)
        - The mechanism for setting the default_version, will be consistent across all future S10 updates
        - Customer experience will be consistent across all future S10 updates (meaning we can set the default version for installs/upgrades but patching will not affect the default version)

        Today we agreed that:

        - David will create & own the new Java package in a Java consolidation containing the necessary default_java file
