update JRE on Solaris
My Solaris 10/x86 system currently has JRE patches 118668-05 and 118669-05. I tried to install the -12 patch updates, but the installation failed:
--
Package SUNWj5jmp from directory SUNWj5jmp in patch 118668-12 is not installed on the system.
--
How do I update the JRE on this system?

I think the patches you're referring to are Solaris OS patches, not patches
for JRE. Solaris JRE updates are available from java.sun.com and would
typically have filenames similar to : jre-6-solaris-sparc.sh.
Please check with your support contact, or check out sun.com for help on
Solaris patch installation issues. Thanks.

They are the Solaris patches that update the JRE. Details are here:

The JRE on Solaris is installed as a Solaris package, and updated via Solaris patches.

Maybe you could point me to the location on java.sun.com that has the Solaris packages that update the JRE on Solaris 10/x86. I was unable to find it.
