BACKGROUND

JRockit includes a few patches of the JDK. In order to simplify the JRockit JDK updating process, we want to move as many as possible of these to the Java SE JDK.

PROBLEM

We had a customer who ran into sun bug 4528643 in 1.5.0 (the impact is greater in JRockit). This bug has been fixed in 1.6.0. We therefore took the fix from 1.6.0 into 1.4.2 and 1.5.0, and now rebuilds libjpeg.so ourselves. The fix can be integrated without conflicts.

AFFECTED VERSIONS: 1.4.2, 1.5.0
