I want to let everyone know the status of this 'situation'...
PC's running java 1.6 will hang when trying to download the .jar file from SWC's running the a2.0 firmware but *will* connect to devices running older firmware. Java releases prior to this work with all (recent) SWC firmware revs.
HP does not any copies of the old (< a2.0) firmware. HP also states that a SWC cannot be back-dated from a2.0.
The work-arounds include:
- don't update java to 1.6 if you have a2.0 SWC's
- don't update SWC's to a2.0
- check ebay/etc for SWC's without a2.0
- replace SWC's with a different solution
- for PCI systems, use the built-in SWC/GSP
(a glimmer of hope remains that sun will release a fix for java 1.6. other folks with older .jar files are complaining...)
And just to be clear -- this isn't just an mpe issue. It impacts any system with a SWC.
