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....
