   The latest version of OpenJDK 6 is 1.6.0-b22 RC2 released on 28.03.2011. This   
   is a second release candidate version that fixes a number of bugs in the   
   previous release candidate as well as updates OpenJDK to beta 22.     
      
   You also need the newest Odin with this OpenJDK6.       
      
       
      
   From the OpenJDK6 changelog:     
      
   - Updated OpenJDK sources to b22     
      
   - Fixed and improved system tray support      
      
   - Fixed: Sound did not work in LIBPATHSTRICT=T mode (Odin bug).     
      
   - Fixed: SIGABRT that would unexcpectedly terminate some Java applications,   
   e.g. IzPack based installers (GCC compiler bug).     
      
   - Fixed: Crash during Drag'n'Drop operations in some Java applications, e.g.   
   JAlbum (Odin bug).     
      
   - Fixed DLL loading code in the JVM that would print a useless message when   
   one of the required DLLs is not found.     
      
    - A bunch of smaller fixes in Odin libraries that should improve OpenJDK    
   behavior.     
      
       
      
   From the Odin changelog:     
      
   - general: Workaround the OS/2 loader bug in LIBPATHSTRICT=T mode      
      
   - general: A big bunch of fixes (headers and so on) for SDK mode.      
      
   - odincrt: Fixed a tiny typo in DosQueryModuleHandleStrict() that could   
   sometimes cause 100% CPU load at application startup      
      
   - kernel32: VirtualQuery: Succeed with MEM_FREE for one page when querying an   
   unallocated address in the private arena      
      
   - kernel32: Report ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND from LoadLibrary() when it fails to   
   load a DLL due to missing import modules, to mimic Win32 behavior.      
      
   - tools/wrc: Restored generating GAS output by default. MASM output is now   
   generated by specifying the -M option.      
      
   - shell32: Shell_NotifyIcon(): Create a copy of the supplied icon because the   
   caller may DestroyIcon() on it at any time (which would cause systray to   
   display an empty rectangle). This matches Windows behavior.      
      
   - shell32: Implemented support for xsystray (Extended System Tray widget for   
   XCenter) which provides more functionality (in particular, "TaskbarCreated"   
   message broadcasting).
