> Without further adieu, the source bundle for OpenJDK 6 b16 is available from
>
>   http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/
>
> and the OpenJDK 6 Mercurial repositories
> (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6) will be tagged with the build
> information accordingly.
>
> The previous source bundle was for b14.  There was no distinct b15 per se;
> b15 was used to mark the transition from teamware to Mercurial.  The b16
> build is the first to be done purely in Mercurial.
>
> There were 45 bug fixes in this build ranging from security fixes to sound
> updates; OpenJDK 6 b16 has all relevant security fixes from the recent JDK
> synchronized security release.  A few fixes of note, during a build
> importing binary plugs now defaults to false (6781572 "Default to
> IMPORT_BINARY_PLUGS=false for OpenJDK 6 builds") and several fixes were
> applied that should render a few IcedTea patches unnecessary:
>
>  6736248 EnumEditor bug. Class check incorrect
>  6733718 test /java/awt/FullScreen/UninitializedDisplayModeChangeTest/ fails
>  6593946 (bf) X-Buffer.compact() does not discard mark as specified
>  6778493 Fix (langtools) ant build to honor fcs MILESTONE setting
