The reason I asked is after installing 9iR2, and playing 5 minutes with OEM, I noticed in the task manager I had 2 jrew.exe. I closed OEM, and killed the remaining jrew.exe

Yeah, absolutely, we get 1.3.1 and 1.1.8 at install time, and if I understand your comment, the newer versions of OEM use 1.3.1, but that was not due to the necessity to modify OEM to use 1.3.1 :-).

And if OEM were very stable with 1.1.8, why not for the other Oracle components. I'm not a pusher for using absolutely the last version, but it was a surprise to see such a discrepancy between the components.

Oracle installs a 1.1.8, so let be satisfied with that and do not ask why ... So far, the "master in the world" for Java remains SUN :-) And Sun does not support anymore 1.1.8 ... so my question... this JDK-OEM issue seems pretty hot for Oracle staff, isn't it ?
