This is what the support site on Blackboard explains about java cache: Your Java cache is a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access. Once the data is stored in the cache, future use can be made by accessing the cached copy rather than having to download the Blackboard Collaborate content every time you enter a session, therefore lowering your connection time. Sometimes cached data can become corrupt or outdated. In such cases we recommend that you delete cached content so that storage is complete and current. (From Peggy George)
