Java Updates

jgrav451 · 09-02-2008, 04:16 AM

I'm cleaning up my hard drive by removing unused programs. There are at least a dozen j2se runtime environment 5.0 updates in the add/remove program area.

Do all of these update need to be saved? They take up between 110 - 160 MB of disk space. If all of these are saved they will eventually take up significant drive space. What should I do?

It won't hurt to see any of those removed. You can always go for the latest release at the SUN page seen at http://www.java.com/en/ If you reinstall or upgrade IE you would be going for the latest anyways since that's an addon component for online content as well as the Adobe Flash Player.

just remove all update but the most recent and you'll be fine.
