Apps won't open?
BigJim:
It has been working for me for several months on three machines. It seems to do the job as advertised and without problems. It also answered the question that I sent into the black hole of Java Support and never got a reply: Do I have to keep all those old/previous versions hanging around? Seems that you not only don't need them but it's a liability to have them hanging around ... and using up a not inconsiderable amount of disc space!
PhilB66:
My reply would be redundant (tnx. cranioscopical & BigJim) but I would add that it works like a charm and it's portable.
jgpaiva:
;D Whoa, 3 affirmative answers in so little time, i guess that really must work :D
BigJim: Up until this point, jre is fully backwards compatible, thus, keeping olders versions isn't necessary. It might be in the future, though, if they decide to change something in the virtual machine. (which i'm very doubtful they'll ever do, since they've been avoiding it at all costs)
Grorgy:
I read somewhere, sorry i forget where, but the old JRE versions do pose a security risk even if not being used, I don't understand how or why this could be the case, but it prompts me to clean them up.
CodeTRUCKER:
Phill and cmpm... no dice. The JavaRa funcioned as expected, but my execs will still not open. :(
