Comment 2 Sandeep K. Shandilya 2007-04-26 14:16:26 UTC 
jre 1.6 was from www.sun.com.

Is running chcon on jre 1.6 supported? are they any security implications here.

No you can make the change.  Change the context and then change use the semanage
command to change the system defaults.

This is a problem with the java libraries.

Please report it as a bug to them.
