- Verification for new versions of the Sun JRE are automatically included as part of ongoing development efforts.
- SkillSoft does not formally support any JRE that has not been fully released by Sun.
- Incremental updates to the Sun JRE are not expected to present major challenges. If issues with a specific Sun JRE occur, the problems are analyzed to determine the best course of corrective action.
