Thanks everyone. We will see what the adjuster says.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm poking around the Sun site, and I can't work out how to find a specific (old) version of the JDK. I need to recreate an older deployment, and we were using 1.6.something, not the versions 6 & 7 currently on offer.

But I can't find a historical page.

Can anyone help?

It needs to be older than JDK 1.6 update 32?

1.6.0_16-b01, to be exact.

Well, you can get 1.6.0_16 from here:

You're going to have to talk slowly and patiently to me. I don't see 1.6 on that page--it goes from 1.4 to 5. What don't I understand about the numbering scheme? Or here: [link] or here: [link]

At which point I'm more than confused.

Sorry, didn't realize the confusion.

Java 5 is 1.5, Java 6 is 1.6, Java 7 is 1.7.

Oh, that's NOT CONFUSING AT ALL, ORACLE.

Yeah, the documentation says Java 6, but 'java -version' tells the real story. Sort of like how Windows 7 is Windows 6.1.

What's wrong with a good old honest version number? Cars should have them too: you want to avoid that Dodge Dart 1.0 and wait for Dodge Dart 1.2.1.
