The Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition for Business 6 is based on the current Java™
Standard Edition 6 (JDK 6).
See the following links to release notes including bug fixes, installation information,
required licenses, supported configurations, and documentation links.
Required Licenses
Installing Java SE for Business (All Platforms)
Java SE for Business installation is identical to
JDK6 installation
except that the installable bundle names differ. Each Java SE bundle name appends the
characters fb onto either jdk or jre in the
JFB bundle name.
Example: The Java SE bundle name
jdk-6u15-windows-i586.exe
becomes
jdkfb-6u15-rev-<build>-windows-i586.exe
in the Java for Business product.
Documentation
System Virtualization Support in Java SE for Business
Java SE for Business supports operating system level virtualization.
This support is subject to both of the following constraints:
-
The OS and processor architecture in use must be supported by Java SE for Business.
-
The OS, processor architecture, server, and other hardware in use
must be supported by the virtualization product.
As of Java SE for Business 6u16,
support is available for VirtualBox, Solaris Containers and Solaris LDOMs.

Auto Update Off
Beginning with this revision, the JRE auto update feature defaults to OFF.
Auto Update behavior may be unpredictable if this revision is co-installed with
any other Java SE implementation (Java SE for Business or Java SE)
that does not have the auto update scheduler already turned off (AU-OFF).
Results will also be unpredictable if
this revision for Java SE for Business is installed and then
subsequently a Java SE Update is installed with auto update turned on
(the default for Java SE).
To workaround this problem, ensure that any other Java SE implementation
residing on a system has auto update turned off prior to installing this
revision or a subsequent revision.
Or else, remove any other Java SE implementation before installing
this or a subsequent revision.
