the RTLD_GLOBAL flag in the dlopen() call used for dynamically loading libraries
containing Java native methods. -XX:+DllLoadGlobal is the default for 5.0.19 and
later, and is equivalent to the behavior in 5.0.17 and earlier releases.
-XX:-DllLoadGlobal is the default only for 5.0.18 (and for 6.0 releases).
This option does does not affect 32-bit PA-RISC because the 32-bit PA-RISC version of
dlopen() always behaves as if the RTLD_GLOBAL flag was given.
For details of RTLD_GLOBAL and RTLD_LOCAL, see the dlopen(3C) manpage.
Performance improvement for String.intern()
Available with JDK/JRE 5.0.14 and later, the -XX:+UseFastInternStrings option
improves caching for interned strings. Using this option can can benefit applications
that make frequent use of java.lang.String.intern() or
java.lang.Throwable.getStackTraceElement().
Configuring the Java Runtime Plug-In
The Java Runtime Plug-In (JPI) configuration was redesigned in the 5.0 release. For
more information refer to Oracle's documentation at: http://download.oracle.com/
javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
For additional information on the Java Runtime Plug-In, see the Java™ Runtime Plug-in
(JPI) Frequently Asked Questions on the BSC at:

CLASSPATH environment variable
A user's CLASSPATH environment variable can be passed by the JVM by running the
Control Panel and specifying either -cp or -classpath in the “Java Run Time
Parameter” box. You need to exit and rerun the browser for this change to take effect.
Java Web Start technology usage
Java™ Web Start is an application-deployment technology that gives you the power
to launch full-featured applications with a single click from a web browser. It is located
in the jre directory. Some of Java Web Start's features include:
• Runs independently of any browser, so you can shut down your browser or go to
another web page and continue using your application.
• Applications deployed with Java Web Start do not require a browser interface to
operate.
• Includes security features of the Java 2 platform.
The hardware and operating system requirements for using Java Web Start are the
same as those recommended for J2SE platform implementation on which it runs.
Upgrading from a previous Java Web Start version
Do NOT uninstall your previous version of Java Web Start (if you have one) before
installing the new version. Uninstalling the previous version will cause the download
