Hi folks,

It's Java upgrade time again as 1.4.0 just came out. Sun has a list of
Solaris 8 patches they say is needed at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/install-solaris-patches.html. I took a
look and we don't have most of them to the level they say is needed,
some not at all. I'm not sure if we're using all the features these
cover (like CDE) but most look important.

Could you please look these over and get them installed in the release
as soon as/if possible? I'm sure several people will ask me if JDK 1.4.0
is installed on Athena within a day or two :-) 

                                           Thanks,

                                                  Alex
