Hi Denice,

Since updating java sometimes causes problems, we're leaving it up to 
the admins to do it by hand if they need to.  Here are the instructions.

SLF3
yum -c ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts30rolling/testing/yum.conf update

SLF4
yum -c ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts4rolling/testing/yum.conf update
or
yum --enablerepo=fermi-testing update

I think a majority of people do not want me pushing out rpm's that could 
potentially remove their hand installed java, on a friday evening.

I'm sorry, but I found out about the java problem too late to get a 
proper solution that wasn't going to cause more problems than it solved.
