Hi mates.
Please advise, why openjdk-7 version is too old in testing?
Debian testing repo: 7u3-2.1.3-1 0
Debian experimental repo: 7u15-2.3.7-1 0

Considering the fact that there were a few major vulnerabilities in JRE
recently, I don't see other ways of installing JRE on Debian except for
downloading it straight from oracle.com, because the version from
