Java 1.5 update 12 - Can't autodl 1.5.0_12

I've updated my JNLP file to try and use Java 1.5 update 12 because this fixes some GUI rendering bugs, so I need my customers to use that version of the JRE.

Unfortunately if I specify update 12 then I receive an error, however 1.5.0_11 works ok.

Is there somewhere that lists the supported JRE versions for auto download? - I've tried searching a few places with no luck. Is there a latency between a JRE release and it being supported via autodl?

Please note that the asterix does not make a difference....

Fails...

<j2se version="1.5.0_12*" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>

Success...

<j2se version="1.5.0_11*" ><%= heap %> href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>

The error is...

Download Error

The application has requested a version of the Java 2 plantform (JRE) that is currently not locally installed. Java Web Start was unable to automatically download and install the requested version. The JRE version must be installed manually.

Error code 11 (11 Could not locate requested version) returned from server when accessing resource: (http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se, 1.5.0_12*).

yes -

until universal download project is completed, only specific versions are posted for autodownload from java web start. This dosn't yet include 1.5.0_12.
