Java ES 5 

Release 5 

Java ES 5 Update 1 (Release 5U1) supports a mixture of Release 5 and Release 5U1 product components on a single computer. Interoperability between Release 5 and Release 5U1 components is guaranteed. 

The coexistence of Release 5 and Release 5U1 product components provides for the possibility of selectively upgrading Release 5 product components to Release 5U1 on a single computer within a deployment architecture consisting of multiple computers. 

If any Release 5U1 product component requires support of a Release 5U1 shared component, all shared components on the computer are best synchronized to Release 5U1.

Release 4 

 

Direct upgrade from Release 4 to Release 5U1 is not supported. This upgrade path is supported by first upgrading Release 4 to Release 5 and then upgrading Release 5 to Release 5U1. The information about upgrading Release 4 to Release 5 is documented in Sun Java ES 5 Upgrade Guide for Microsoft Windows.
