-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Because of all the crypto annoyances with Java 6 not having JCA, nextgens, p0s, and I were discussing upgrade paths to Java 7.
We established that: * Oracle will begin auto-updating some Windows users from 32-bit Java 6 to 32-bit Java 7 in December 2012. This is scheduled to expand to all Windows users in February 2013. [0] * On 64-bit Windows 32-bit Java is recommended, and 64-bit Java does not currently have auto-update capabilities. [1] Upon looking into it I'm not so confident that Java 7 does away with crypto strength limitations. It seems like both 6 and 7 require installation of policy files to get larger key sizes. [2][3] Am I missing something?
