I went to the linux-sun-jre16 port, and I find a disagreement on the jre version number requested in the port (u3) versus what Sun has on their web site as their latest (u12). This is odd, since the native version runs u7. Why is this? Update 3 is a couple of years old, which is fine I guess, but is there a reason that update 12 is not used? Frank
