Update to the Java runtime Environment

**JohnM** · **06-20-06, 04:48 PM**

Update 7 of JRE 5.0 is now available at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

This update includes a fix for a bug in the JRE that causes occasional gaps in recorded audio, this could result in incorrect REW measurements. JRE 5.0 Update 7 is recommended for all REW users.

This sounds like an important update here. I wonder if we need to make it a sticky?

Maybe even put it on the Downloads page with a note.

Probably not a major issue as REW already has some workarounds in the code to minimise the chances of the bug resulting in dropouts, but can't hurt to point folk in the right direction for the download. This update is also on the java.com site now at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

I stuck it on the Downloads page just for easy access.
