Comment 4 for bug 477812

*Please* clarify us about this! I'm very disappointed that we get no information at all!

- Is anything being done at all, to provide this security update for JRE, or is JRE officially abandoned?

- If a security update is in progress, when can we expect it, and for which versions of Ubuntu?

For those of us who find it unacceptable to wait any longer for this important security update (like I), I have published a how-to for manual installation: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java
