Sub Tasks

Description
The information we are using when we sign the installer files has the string: "Java Plug-in 1.5.0".  For winxp SP2, this will be shown any time the user runs the installer.  So all java.com and java.sun.com users will first see 1.5.0 when they run the installer.  This was not the case before winxp SP2 was released.  Before winxp SP2, this problem would only exist using java.com/getjava.

Also, for 5.0u1, it still says "Java Plug-in 1.5.0".  It should really include the "Update 1".  

Another issue I see with this is that we aren't only installing the Java Plug-in, so it should have the proper jre and jdk names.
 
The jre string should be: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0".
The jdk string should be: "J2SE Development Kit 5.0".
