Java Versions to Keep?

I just downloaded the latest version Java (TM) Update 21.
Java DB 10.5.3.0 and Java (TM) SE Development Kit Update 19 are also listed in my Programs file. Do I keep both of those?
Thank you,
Lori

 

Halo,
Ok, I will remove the development kit version.
What is Java DB 10.5.3.0 then? Do I need that one?
Thank you for your help.
Lori

 

Java DB is the database part of the development kit; if you don't use it, you can also remove it.

Standard users (non-developers) just need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

 

Thanks so much...

previously i had Java DB 10.5.3.0
Java™ 6 Update 22
Java™ SE Development Kit 6 Update 22

This explains if you need it
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Do you write Java ? If not, then you have no need of JavaDB which is included in JDK.

 

previously i installed java6 update 22 it includes all 3 which mentioned below,but now i installed java 7update 25 but it doesnt have jdb,if we install java6 means it automatically includes jdk ?am i right

 

No. You could download v 6 JRE and/or JDK

first of all make me clear,previously in my system i had i had
Java DB 10.5.3.0
Java™ 6 Update 22
Java™ SE Development Kit 6 Update 22
i had uninstalled all 3 and installed java7u25 pack,after that i got
Java™ 7 Update 25
Java™ SE Development Kit 7 Update 25
now java db is missing?

so here my doubt javadb10.5.3.0 comes from which software?i didnt instaled javadb particularly,previously in my system i had java6u22,tomcat webserver,netbeans.where it comes from ?

 

As stated back in reply #4, you only need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). In other words, you should only have one Java item in Programs and Features. The latest version is Java 7 Update 25 and that is what you should see in Programs and Features.

If you went to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html, as advised by plodr, you would see a button to download JRE: (Java Runtime Environment). Clicking it takes you to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html where you select the appropriate download for your OS. Installing it will put Java 7 Update 25 in your Programs and Features list of installed programs. You should also then have a Java icon in your Control Panel. I don't how we can make this anymore clear to you.

 

Probably part of the bloatware installed by the manufacturer of your computer.

 

i already updated to java7u25,which software installs deafault javadb10.5.3.0

 

finally problem solved,javadb10.5.3.0 comes when installing java6u22,if i need jdb means where should i get

 

if i need jdb means where should i get

 

No, it does not. The image below is what you should have in your Control Panel:

I have no idea what that string of words means. Some effort on grammar would help the communication in the forum.

 

yeah i installed java7u25 version.
sorry its not a grammar mistake,its not jdb,if i need javadb ,how should i get it?

 

Download it from Oracle. I posted the download link in post #8 in this thread.

 

yeah i downloaded the java7u25 ,the link which you provided to me,but i didnt find javadb

 

It's in the index on the left, pointing to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javadb/overview/index.html

 

Three download buttons

read the description and pick all or none.

IMHO, you are loading your computer with something you do not need.
Did you know that is 2012 Java was responsible for the cause of 92% of the malware infections?
I have Jave JRE installed on only one computer in the house (we currently have 9) and on that one I have it disabled.

 

yeah i click jdk and downloaded its size is 89mb,but in my system i didnt found javadb after installing this

but there is no download option

in this link i didnt found any download option

 

bugabug, you have never answered this question. Are you a Java app developer or not?

 

yes iam java developer

 

yes iam java developer

 

waiting for u reply

 

Java DB download: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javadb/index-jsp-155940.html

 

ok i got it,let me make simple ,dont want to increase the post,when i installed java6u22 i got javadb10.5.3.0 in java 6,but why its not present in java7u25,when i installed i didnt get javadb?dis is the doubt which i have raised from my first post to last post in this thread

the above link which i click download button it goes to this link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/j...ds-database-419422.html#JavaDB-10.5.3.0-M-G-F but i didnt found javadb10.5.3.0

 

Because v7 is written different than v6.


Stated twice on the Oracle site. In the 3rd sentence and in the 2nd to last line Included in the JDK.

 

but it is not included in jdk7,
when i click the download button it goes to this link,but i didnt found jdb to download

 

waiting for reply

 

i click download button it goes to this link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...10.5.3.0-M-G-F but i didnt found javadb10.5.3.0

 

It's a whole bunch of components, but I do not know which is doing what, as I don't use JavaDB (using MS SQL & PostgreSQL).

 

oh ok,what can i do

 

Did you install all these components? And does it not give you JavaDB functionality?

Anyway, I still don't understand why you didn't get JavaDB with the JDK, as documented here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk-7-readme-429198.html#contents

 

i had doubt is that derby refers to javadb?i found db folder in java1.7.0_25 folder,then i found Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\db\RELEASE-NOTES.html
it shows ie Release Notes for Apache Derby 10.8.2.2

but when i refer to this linkhttp://docs.oracle.com/javadb/index.html
it shows Java DB 10.8.3.0 Technical Documentation

so iam totally confused

 

waiting for reply

 

It appears as if there is not much detailed JavaDB knowledge here in these forums.

Maybe your best option is to ask in the appropriate https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/java forum.

 

ok thanks for ur replies
