Recently I created a Smart group to check all machines for the version of Flash and install the latest version if not already installed based on a policy scoped to this Smart Group. I want to do the same for Silverlight and Java but I'm not sure what criteria to search on for when creating the Smart group. Any advice?

Checking for and updating Silverlight

Easy way to get Silverlight version number is query /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Silverlight.plugin/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleVersion and it actually has another entry for just SilverLight version. Write your EA to query and report that back.

Thx very much, as I looked closer in policies I found that I can use search criteria based on plug-ins like I could with Software Title. How I missed that, I am unsure?! I'll chalk it up to jt lag from JNUC :-) Now on to java. Thx again.
