Each time I get a Java security update, I have to remember to untick the box to install the yahoo toolbar browser plugin that they've decided, for some mad reason, is an important security feature of Java. Is there a way to get it to remember my choice, or to get the security updates without it? Or to educate Sun about what is and isn't a security update?

              When you do, please let me know. I really don't need the Yahoo toolbar on my J2EE servers.

              Most people like to (manually) manage the version of Java used on servers.

                I know.  I was being facetious. :-)

            I never install java... I just copy it and manually set it to my classpath and other variables as needed to start the application.
Of course I do not get auto updates... then again.. maybe I do not want auto updates ! This ensures that I remain in control of my deployed environment and as a bonus... My toolbars are free of yahoo junk !
then again... that does snot really answer the question though
