Right, however, I wasn't suggesting attempting to change the way the
bank works. I'm saying that Oracle's JRE 6 worked with the bank while
OpenJDK's JRE 6 did not. Perhaps as Oracle developed version 7, the
necessary support for the OP's bank may have been incorporated into
OpenJDK's JRE 7 and that perhaps he should try it to see if it works.
Meaning:
1/ Stay with your current bank.
2/ Try OpenJDK 7 because you may be surprised and it may work as well
as Oracle JRE 6.
