JRE version restrictions for remote console (SEPM) - not FIXED

All,

We are still restricted to using JRE v1.6u7 or lower when running the console on a remote computer. Could we get a Symantec employee to chime in here and let us know when this will be fixed? MR4MP3? MR5? The production version of 1.6 is now 1.6u13, and update 7 has too many well-known security holes for me to be comfortable running it unless I dedicate a VM to just this console.

Also, if it is Paul Murgatroyd who sees this - Paul, could you check the fix-list and see whether we will get SQL2008 compatiblity before the next full-number upgrade (ie, SEP12)? We are entering the wide-scale testing phase up our conversion to SQL2008 (the dev crew wants the new bells and whistles, natch) and I don't want to hold up the process once we get rolling.

Thanks,

Loel

This would be very nice

It would be SUPER AWESOME if we could use current Java with SEPM remote console.  This is a major, major, major pain.

I agree!

I agree, it's actually kind of ironic that I have to run an insecure version of JAVA to run my Security software.

I'm pretty sure we all feel

I'm pretty sure we all feel this way.  It is a pain, and presents a security risk.
