To whom it may concern,

Why the both package and tarball of jdk 1.5.0-7 have different version of 
"Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00)" 
vs "Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b00, mixed mode)"?

Does it really matter? Are there any package issue?

To be more clearly, it seems to me that runtime and hotspot have different 
version.
build diablo-1.5.0-b00 ---------- "1.5.0" on Runtime Environment.
build diablo-1.5.0_07-b00  ---- "1.5.0 update 7" on the HopSpot Client VM.

I have try these two packages and tarball files and the results are the 
same.

  diablo-jdk-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.00.tbz
  diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b00.tar.bz2

Currently , it is cause some issues for me when running application with 
certificates (in security area).

For example, from JAVA_HOME directory
  # /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/java -version
  java version "1.5.0"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b00, mixed mode)

  # /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/java -fullversion
  java full version "diablo-1.5.0-b00"

For example, from JRE_HOME directory
  # /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java -version
  java version "1.5.0"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b00, mixed mode)

  # /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java -fullversion
  java full version "diablo-1.5.0-b00"

Usually, both runtime environment and hotspot client vm should have the same 
version.

  For example in on of my system.
  #/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -version
  java version "1.5.0_07"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b05)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_07-b05, mixed mode)

  # /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -fullversion
  java full version "1.5.0_07-b05"
