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 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.

  • Can you tell me if I have a 64 bit operating system which Java update do I download

    Please can anyone advise me on what Java update I download for a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. My Firefox is telling me I need to urgently update my Java but when I click through to update all that is there is a page of confusing information about 32 bit and 64 bit systems. It asks which version am I using 64 bit version of Firefox or 32 bit. I didn't know there were two, I thought when referring to 64 bit and 32 bit it meant the operating system of my computer. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thank you.

    Of course, if you have a x64 bit system, its better to download a x64 bit Java version. However, i think Firefox won't be able to use it since Firefox isn't x64 bit (yet). So if you need Java in your browser, you'll need Java's 32bit version.
    Keep in mind i could be wrong. It's just my guessing because i tried it out some months ago. I installed 64bit Java but Firefox couldn't handle it.
    However in my opinion you won't recognize a difference between 32 and 64 bit, unless you play games in Java or do other resource intensive work. 32bit will always work on a 64bit PC, but not the other way around.

  • Which Java 8 version do I choose to download?

    It says I need to update Java but the automatic link takes me only to download 7.51 which I already have.
    I know there are links to Java 8 but I am not tech savvy enough to work out which version.
    Usually I need to download both a 32 bit and 64 bit version.
    Can anyone help me with specific download links or information please.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT202912 I can't open Adobe Illustrator CS6 without installing the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I can't get/find the right legacy Java SE 6 download website.

        I'm trying house Adobe Illustrator but I keep getting this message " To open Adobe Illustrator CS6, you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime" It also reads "Click More Info. to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website".  When I click "More Info." it just takes me to a site for some version of Java that still can't open Illustrator!!!!!!  What's going on here & how can this be fixed ASAP????  I have work to do!!!!

    I'm having the same issue. I keep getting:

  • Which packets should I download?

  • 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:
    javac -version
    javac 1.7.0_05

    From the about box of JaxaFX Scene Builder:
    Java Version
    1.7.0_06, Oracle Corporation, 1.7.0_06-b23
    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.

  • Which java

    I'm newbie on java and allready to learn it but i confuse to start it. Which java programming i sould start?

    Actually, I would recommend starting with Java 1.4.2 and then moving to java 1.5. Some of the new features such as generics can be a bit confusing if you are new to this. I would suggest reading Thinking In Java, which you can download for free from http://www.mindview.net .

  • Which java product does one choose?

    I'd like to learn java programming and build a small application that can grow later in functionality. Which java product should i use and can it be downloaded and installed for free. J2EE or J2SE or other product? What are the differences?

    Download the J2SE Development Kit (JDK) from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
    The J2EE is a development kit for enterprise solutions and depends on the J2SE, so you need the J2SE anyway. The JRE is just the runtime environment - you can't build (compile) Java applications with it. The J2SE JDK already has a JRE in it. So you only need the J2SE JDK and .... this link: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

  • How to set up a Java Plug-in Download page in case of netscape?

    hai all of you,
    i have a problem regarding downloading plugin.
    i am using <object > and <embed> tags to download the plugins inorder to run the applets. but it is taking long time to download the plugin form sun.com.
    so what i have done is, i downloaded the plugin.exe file and .cab file and put it in my tomcat server mainted by other party.(y application if for internet purpose only.)
    i refered to http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/docs/intranet.html. there it is mentioned that, to download the plugin.
    for I.E i can able to change the code.
    but for NetScape it's a little bit confusing.
    i have downloaded the binary file in my own directory.
    here he is asking to set up a java plugin-in download page.
    instead of this "plugin-install.html" page what page i should create and what should be the code in this page if i have to write on my own. please let me know if anybody know about it.
    following para is from sun.com
    "To deploy Java Plug-in in intranet environments with Navigator, you need to download and store the Java Plug-in binary file on one of your web servers. Then you need to set up a Java Plug-in Download page and modify the pluginspage attribute in the EMBED tag to refer to this page. The Download page should have options to download different versions of Java Plug-in, such as for Windows and Solaris. For example, if you have set up the Java Plug-in Download page at "http://javaweb.eng/plugin/" and the page is called plugin-install.html, you can specify the pluginspage as "http://javaweb.eng/plugin/plugin-install.html". "
    thanks
    by
    sambareddy

    I have successfuly done this.
    Change the converted html as per the instructions to point to another page.
    Here is an example of the new html page you need to create:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Java Plugin Install Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h2><center>Java Plugin Install Page</center></h2>
    <p></p>
    <h3>Windows Version Only!!!</h3>
    Click here to Download Plugin
    <p></p>
    <p>You may or may not be asked to either save or run from current location</p>
    <p>If the run from current location is available, use that option</p>
    <p>If you can only save the file, then save it to your workstation and exit the download page and exit Netscape. Then using Windows Explorer, go to where you downloaded the file and double click on the file to run it. Accept all options during the install process and once it has finished try accessing your web page again using Netscape. You should then get to the web page or application and this page will not apppear again.
    </body>
    </html>
    If you put the file j2re-1_3_1-win.exe on a web server somewhere then you will have to prefix the file with
    http://yourwebserverdirectory/
    Hope this helps.
