[OpenIndiana-discuss] Updating Java on OpenIndiana

[Anil]

You could just download a JDK/JRE to /usr/local, and then set your JAVA_HOME
or whatever properties to use the newer Java in /usr/local.

Which application are you needing a newer Java version for? You could also
get firefox to use a local java from plugins:

(sorry that is for "Linux", but same enough ... first thing I found on
google).
