Title: Where can I get Java ... reliably ?
Post by: H_TeXMeX_H on 1 October 2006, 03:12

I can't find any place to get the latest java SE (right now it's update 9) ... anyone know where I can download it ?

I've tried the main site:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp)

it just times out when I click download. "The connection has timed out
The server at javashoplm.sun.com is taking too long to respond."

Anywhere else I can get it ? Or better yet, I'm sick of this shit, anywhere I can get a replacement for java that'll be compatible with the java you get from sun ?

Depends, what do you want Java for?

Well to run applets in a browser mostly. So it has to have a firefox plugin.

What do you need JSK for to run applets in a browser? :confused:

I don't need the development kit, just java. Without a java browser plugin, no java applet would work. I need a java applet for school work.

Hey can anyone download java from that site ? Maybe it's my new router ... it has a hardware firewall with wierd settings ... if you can download it then it must be the router.

Try downloading JRE 5.0 Update 9 from here:

Ok, nevermind I found a place:

http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/

It seems the java source is available under the Java Research License ... a bit more open-source oriented, but for research purposes only.
