Help With Java

[mot22]

Hey
I was wondering if anybody could help me....

On my installed programs list i have:

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 3
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_11
Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_11

Which, if any, of these programs would it be safe to get rid of?

Thank You

SDK is for "Software Development Kit"
it's something that programmers use
and you obviously don't need that
so you can uninstall that one and keep the others

You only want the latest update of Java installed at any given time, and keeping it up to date will also help protect you against malware.

Here is a link to update Java:

The current version is 5.0 Update 8 but before installing, remove past updates in order for it to work correctly. (Remove them via Add/Remove Programs)
