Hi there, Java was a binary package so we cannot know for sure what they change between a version and another one but, in the interest of SUN and the Java platform, minor version are always binary compatible. It's usually safe to upgrade from 1.5.0_08 to whatever else 1.5.0_xx and the same applies for 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.6.0. I also know that these packages live in Universe and support is limited but, specially for applet, this is a vital component for system security: I would suggest an upgrade of packages both for Edgy and Feisty.
