How do download Java Plug in

Question

I dowloaded J2SE runtime environment 5.0 update 2. Where do I dind the Java Plug in?

Answer 1

You can download J2SE runtime 5.0 update 3 from the
java web site www.java.sun.com.No, that only has 1.5.0_02. To get the _03 update, go to java.sun.com and click J2SE 5.0 in the Popular Downloads box at the right.
This excerpt from Graham Hamilton's (Sun VP) blog explains the policy:
"We will not be releasing 5.0 Update 3 on java.com or via auto-update. Here's why.
Our goal is that the update releases be boring. Seriously! They are intended to deliver fixes that will be important to some customers, but they aren't normally a "must-have" item for typical Java end users. So we don't necessarily want to push them all out to our mass consumer audience.
Java.com and the java auto-update mechanism are primarily targeted at making it easy for home consumers to get the JRE. As part of that, we're trying to make sure that the latest version available via java.com is the same as the latest version available via auto-update. But this won't necessarily always be the same as the latest release that is available on java.sun.com.
We will occasionally use auto-update to propagate a new version out to the consumer audience, but we want to do that sparingly. In March we enabled auto-update from 1.4.X to 5.0 Update 2 and as a result millions of consumers chose to do an auto-update to Tiger. We're glad they did that, but we don't want to bother them with another auto-update again too quickly."
