[June 14, 2012 Update: removed redundant JRE Auto Update information; pointed to standalone blog article]

I’m pleased to let you know that the latest Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_33 (a.k.a. JRE 6u33-b03) is now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12.  
 

What’s new in Java 1.6.0_33?

See the 1.6.0_33 Update Release Notes
for details about what has changed in this release.  This release is
available for download from the usual Sun channels and through the ‘Java
Automatic Update’ mechanism.

32-bit and 64-bit versions certified

This certification includes both the 32-bit and 64-bit JRE
versions.  64-bit JREs are certified only on 64-bit versions of Windows 7
and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Worried about the ‘mismanaged session cookie’ issue?

No need to worry — it’s fixed.  To recap: JRE releases 1.6.0_18
through 1.6.0_22 had issues with mismanaging session cookies that affected some users in some circumstances.
 

The fix for those issues was first included in JRE 1.6.0_23. These
fixes will carry forward and continue to be fixed in all future JRE
releases.  In other words, if you wish to avoid the mismanaged session
cookie issue, you should apply any release after JRE 1.6.0_22.

All JRE 1.6 releases are certified with EBS upon release

Our standard policy is that all E-Business Suite customers can apply all
JRE updates to end-user desktops from JRE 1.6.0_03 and later updates on the 1.6 codeline.  We test
all new JRE 1.6 releases in parallel with the JRE development process, so
all new JRE 1.6 releases are considered certified with the E-Business Suite on
the same day that they’re released by our Java team. 

You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before
applying new JRE 1.6 releases to your EBS users’ desktops.
