JDK-6257124 - Update JAVAUPDATE command line option in JRE installer for PC-OEMs
Description
Some PC-OEMs redistribute the JRE on Windows with Java Auto-Update disabled.
We need to develop a mechanism to allow users to easily re-enable Java Auto-Update.  If auto-update is disabled, we should prompt the user 
occasionally to re-enable.  It is important to encourage users to enable auto-update so they can quickly get security updates and important escalation fixes.

This feature requires a full engineering specification and UE spec as well.
