new version of Java

[Rob Clement-3]

Hi

I noticed that I had a new version of Java to download this morning. It
is Java 6 update 17. I downloaded it and find that after the download
all the old versions of Java have been cleared out of my system. I think
this could cause problems for some users of OOo.

Has anyone else noticed the same removal of old versions by this update
to Java?

I am runnong MS Vista Home Basic service Pack 2

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob
I had also update the Java application yesterday. I using Java some
years ago. But I found only Java 6 updates from version1 to 7  and 17.
Older versions before Java 6 was uninstalled some month ago. (Win XP
home SP3).

days.

Rob, if I remember correctly, from 6 update 11, installation of a new JRE
version removes previous installations of versions, so long as these are 6
update 10 or later. Earlier versions have to be removed manually....
