I've commented on this a few times.  They tell me it's not possible?
However, I find it hard to believe that a company such as Borland can't
implement a way to upgrade the JDK.   Hmmmm sounds to me like a good way to
make some money.  Get people to buy your product and then charge them to
upgrade to a JDK that Sun provides for free.

I should have thought of that....
