Java textfield bugs on Solaris

My app is getting hit by this bug on Solaris - Java Plugin Version is
1.5.0_01.

My component is a TextArea not a TextField, I am still getting hit
by it.

The workaround given on the webpage works - i.e. clicking on the Java
Console & then on my textArea gives it keyboard focus - but it has to
be done everytime - i.e. if you click elsewhere & lose focus again, the
workaround has to be repeated before you can edit the textarea - this
isn't a good workaround, IMHO.

Does anyone know any better workarounds, mitigations.

The page says
"This bug had been fixed on JRE1.5.0_beat2-b37 on Solaris10-b51."

What is JRE1.5.0_beat2-b37? Is it downloadable?

Might be a typo: JRE1.5.0_beat2-b37 -> JRE1.5.0_beta2-b37

Try to install the latest version of JRE 5.0: JRE 5.0 Update 6.
Or JDK 5.0 Update 6 if you want to develop/compile Java applications.

See <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html> which
Solaris versions are supported.

That worked - thank you.
