Sun has released Updates 7, 8 and 9. 9 is available if you want
it. Update 6 is what you get if you have Windows and go to the
main Java site or you perform an update via Java itself. Update
6 patched a security hole. 7 - 9 contain bug fixes. So...
unless you are having Java problems using Windows and go to the
Java support site, Update 6 is all you need.

P.S. Sun issued an alert that said if you keep older versions
(Update 5 or earlier) on your machine you are still vulnerable.
