I think "fallen into disrepair" is perhaps overstating the situation.  
These look to be very recent updates as Sun don't appear to have yet
completed the updates themselves (the bundled releases for Netbeans,
etc. are still using the older versions).

Thanks for this information.  I'll take a look at updating them as soon as
I have a chance.

I don't yet see source code updates, so jdk15 and jdk16 (which is still on
update 1) will have to wait a bit longer.
