Are you saying that every JDK install should come with Solaris? Or that operating systems should be built specifically to suppport java installation?

Not even "specifically"; these updating woes rarely exist on platforms where you have a proper package manager (be it APT or YUM or Zypper or Pacman or Homebrew or whatever). Software devs shouldn't have to worry about writing updaters, since updating should be handled by the OS.
- binarycrusader 12y agoExactly, Solaris 11 has a "proper" package manager: Network-based repositories, SAT-solver-based dependency management, signed packages, boot environments, etc.
- binarycrusader 12y agoIn this case, every jdk install is available from the Solaris network package repository. Just like many Linux distros. Linux distributions have the same problem so I don't understand the downvotes.
