Where to download JRE 1.6.0?

[Peter Christensen]

I just wonder, why they are still distributing JRE 1.5.0_10 on www.java.com.

I now use JRE 1.6.0 (JRE 6), which I downloaded together with the new Java
Development Kit (JDK 1.6.0) from java.sun.com. I would like my user to
update to JRE 1.6.0 also, but he shouldn't really have to download JDK 1.6.0
too, because he is just using the program and not a programmer.

Are there anybody who knows, why they still have JRE 1.5.0_10 on
www.java.com, and where JRE 1.6.0 can be downloaded without the JDK? -Maybe
it's just a matter of days before java.com is updated, so JRE 1.6.0 can be
downloaded?

You can direct your user to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
where he looks for "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6" and clicks
"Download" this will take you to the license agreement etc..

I'm not exactly sure why the front page wasn't updated to show the new
jre, probably because the 1.6 is so new and hardly any one really
requires it, especially when a lot of companies (mine included) are
still using 1.4 and earlier.

Hope that helps,
Will

Why not download it direct from Sun? You can find pretty much any
version there, including all the way back to 1.3.

 

[Dieter Bender]

because there is no version for as400, neither 1.6, nor any other

 

[John W. Kennedy]

because there is no version for as400, neither 1.6, nor any other

And what has that to do with java.com, which also doesn't support the
AS/400? If you want Java for zSeries, iSeries, or pSeries, you go to
IBM. If you want Java for MacOS X, you go to Apple.

On the other hand, it appears that java.com is owned by Sun, who I
suppose really should upgrade it from 1.5.10 to 1.6.0.
