Which Java Version to Download

Hi,
I need to download Java and I can see the J2SE and J2EE in the sun download site. Which one should I get? What is the difference between the two?
I remember downloading Java before and it was J2SDK and I can't find that version. What is the SDK version?
Thanks,
-Ray

SDK is the 'core' of what you need to program in java. It contains the compiler and various tools that are prerequisites, and some important libraries that you will probably need in any area of java. On top of that you can get extensions, and extra libraries to... umm extend the development capability of your setup. J2EE does like webby stuff such as JSP, servlet, XML type twiddling etc., and is one such extension (thats prob not the correct term for it, but it helps for understanding). J2ME is confusingly not like this! It is a cut-down set of libraries for use on very limited architecture such as mobile devices.
Get the SDK first, as it is essential. You don't need anything else initially.

  • Which Java Version to develop Java-XML Programs

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone could help me figure out which java bundle to download to be able to compile and run java files using the XML parser classes, and also, do I need any third party api's or somthing to use SAX and DOM.
    Sincerely
    Fredrik G�rander

    do I need any third party api's or somthing to use SAX and DOMSince it doesn't come with Java you are going to need something.
    I would suggest finding that first and then getting the jdk/jre that matches the version that it requires.

  • ASDM - which Java version?

    Unable to launch device manager.
    I'm trying to run ASDM and targeting a mixture of 5505 and 5510s. I'm using Mac (Yosemite) and Windows 7 machines.
    5505 is 6.2, 5510 is 9.x
    Oh whatever.
    Which Java versions will work? 

    Due to security reasons you should always update Java to the latest version. So the question is not which Java to use, but which ASDM works with the newest Java.
    If you always upgrade your ASAs to the latest ASDM, then you should be able to use the ASDM. At least that works for me (OS 10.10.2 and also Win7).

  • Which Java Do I Download?

    Okay, first off, I had the same problem that another person listed in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991038?esab=a&as=aaq
    Following the links Cor-el posted as an answer, I was lead to these pages:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
    and
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
    Mostly, these pages seem to solve the issue, however, one small problem still exists for me:
    Due to a combination of not having dealt with this issue in a long time, and being not at all computer savvy, I'm not sure which exactly I should download.
    I'm pretty sure that it's Java JRE 8, but I want to be sure so I don't cause a bigger problem than I already have.
    Also, clicking on the Java JRE 8 button leads me to a list of download links, two of which are for "Windows x64", which is what I have. One ends in ".exe", and one ends in ".tar.gz". Which do I download?

    You install Java for your whole system, not only your browser. It's always recommended to upgrade to the newest version, so do that. You might have to restart your browser afterwards for the changes to take effect.
    Take care.

  • Which java version should I code the SCJD assignment?

    Hi All,
    I am planning to take SCJD (maybe within a year or earlier). But I am confused as to in which version of java should I submit the assignment(CX-310-252A). I read in "All in one Java 2 SCJP..." book by Kathy Seirra that we must not use a verison (of java) that is more than 18 months older than the current production java version as it would be deemed "out-of-date" by the exam assessors (pg 563).
    So going by the same line of thought, does it mean that I can submit the aasignment only in 1.6 (release date-dec 12 2006) and not in java 1.5 or 1.4. Also, if 1.7 gets released early next year and if I am coding in 1.6, then I would have to submit the assignment by june 2008 (or else it would become outdated).
    The various java version release dates can be found at: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javareleasedates.html
    Please help me solve this version confusion. (I prefer submitting in 1.4 as I have completed SCJP 1.4)
    SCJP 85%, SCWCD 91%
    "Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them"

    1.5 is no longer a valid platform 18 months after the
    initial public release of 1.6.
    What that means is that your code should work on 1.6
    without modifications from that date.Where did you find that information?
    It's a bit strange since this is what The EOL for Java says:
    "Technology EOL Policy
    Major Product Family Releases
    This would include such products as Java 2 Platform,
    Standard Edition 1.4.2 and 5.0. The Java technology policy
    is to support the current shipping version of Java
    Standard Edition plus two back versions. Once the
    End-of-Life process starts on a major product family
    release, a notice will be posted on all relevant download
    pages stating that the product has entered the EOL
    process and how long the process will continue until the
    product is no longer supported by Sun."http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html
    So that means that 1.4.2 will enter EOL when Java 7 is released. How can a version that hasn't entered the EOL life cycle not be valid?

  • Which JAVA version I am running now?

    Today when I check the java version on my 10.8.2 MacBook Pro, 13 inch, Mid 2010, I found the following.
    From terminal:

    From the about box of JaxaFX Scene Builder:

    Which one I should trust?

    If you did the recent update - who knows, but checking the Oracle site may provide the best insight.
    I updated on of my Macs, and an totally confused - will not update my other OS X computers utill this gets sorted out.

  • JConnector - which Java Version is supportet?

    Hi we have to develop a solution which connects a PDA (Windows Mobile) to the SAP System. We tried to use JAVA 1.5 but the virtual machine of our PDA does not support JAVA 1.5. It only supports JAVA up to version 1.3.
    So my question: Does JConnector 2.1.2 support JAVA version 1.3?
    Best regards

  • Which Java Version

    I have a new laptop (PC Windows 7 Ultimate). When I tried to build and debug with screens, it said that Java isn't installed. I thought all new PCs came with Java installed. Regardless, given this configuration, does OPM require a specific version of Java? or will whatever is the latest be ok?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Terry,
    Any java version 1.5 or later should work, so the latest should be fine.
    Cheers

  • Which Java version is recommended for widest compatibility?

    I started learning and coding with JDK 1.1_Final, but particular code elements do not seem to be working. For example, overriding update() to not clear the screen and instead only call paint() has no effect at all - the screen still gets cleared! I had hoped to compile using 1.1.x for maximum browser compatibility, but if the language version doesn't work then there's little point in using it. So, with the release of Java 2 and SDK 1.4.x, what are people doing out there to code applets that will reach the widest target audience? I've restricted my HTML code limited to the 4.x browsers or higher, but haven't yet found a listing of which versions of Java are compatible with which versions of browsers. (Sun's FAQ is incomplete in this matter.) So, I'm not quite sure how to balance the compatibility issues and decide which version of Java to use for reaching a reasonable 'maximum' target audience without forcing site visitors to upgrade their browsers for viewing my applets. (I hate sites like that!) So, what version of Java do you use for applets, and why? What browser versions are you compatible with? What other issues should I be considering? Thanks for helping me to select an appropriate Java applet version that will reach the most people.

  • Which Java version to install on Windows w/AMD Athlon 4400+?

    Hello all,
    Until now, I've always run Windows on an Intel Pentium platform. However, I just purchased a new PC with an AMD64 Athlon 4400+ processor (one of those new "dual core" jobs). According to the PC manufacturer, this processor can run at 64-bit or 32-bit, but by default, is set to 32-bit processing.
    Here's my question:
    Assuming that I'll be running this machine as a 32-bit processor, which version of the JDK should I pick to run on this new system? Windows/Pentium or Windows AMD64?
    Thanks for your help.

    Be careful here.
    I went out and bought a nice new AMD64 cpu and
    installed the beta Windows XP 64 bit edition and then
    tried to install that 64 bit Java for AMD and never
    got past the install. Windows kept killing the
    installer insisting it was either a virus or
    unauthorized or some such nonsense.
    After not being able to install other 32 bits apps
    (and I had no problems with other 32 bis apps, mind
    you) I finally removed windows 64 and installed
    Windows XP Pro and Java 1.4.x without issues.
    Conclusion: Install the 32 bit Java if your OS is 32
    bit, install the 64 bit version of Java if your OS is
    64 bit (if you can). Your hardware makes no
    difference if it can operate at both 32 and 64 bits.
    Then it depends on the OS that you're running
    g because it will tell your CPU which mode to operate
    in."Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to meet the demands of customers who require large amounts of memory and floating point performance in areas such as mechanical design and analysis, 3-D animation, video editing and composition, and scientific and high-performance computing applications. "
    - Microsoft
    "If you use only 32-bit applications and work with data sets not larger than 2 GB, you will find that 32-bit, Windows XP Professional is the best desktop system for your applications."
    - Microsoft
    Are you even doing anything Windows 64 is designed for? Unless you're running in a 64-bit environment you shouldn't be downloading the 64-bit Java, whether or not your processor can support 64-bit environments is irrelevent. If you're a Windows user, then chances are you shouldn't be using Windows 64 because unless you require massive amounts of processor power and memory for things like animation or engineering it's not for you.
