Yes, but that's usually a problem coming from the programming side, not from the JRE itself, I mean, nothing a "code fix" can't solve :-) > Perhaps as Oracle developed version 7, the necessary support for the > OP's bank may have been incorporated into OpenJDK's JRE 7 and that > perhaps he should try it to see if it works. Yes, but the OP already said he tried so but it failed (copy/paste from his first post): "(...) Unfortunately, my internet baking does not recognize openjdk. Only sun-java seems to work. When calling technical support, the attendant insist I should upgrade to the last sun-java plugin. There is simply no alternatives for me." > Meaning: > > 1/ Stay with your current bank. > > 2/ Try OpenJDK 7 because you may be surprised and it may work as well as > Oracle JRE 6. The second point is what I think it failed but maybe is that the user did not try enough...
