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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My car is on Microsoft service pack one for the infotainment system and it also has service packs for the ABS brakes and the automatic transmission.

Dunno who did the service pack for the transmission, but it made a huge difference--the car shifts much smoother now.
