To everyone: Don't try to download the bad version (which may be the one listed above). Go to java.com and download Java version 1.5 under the Free Download area in green.
This is the latest version and it has many enhancements for speed for newly-written code.

Sorry about that. You will need to go under the Developer's tab to get 1.5.0. That tab area is purple.
Look for J2SE 5.0. On the right hand side under "Popular Downloads" is the J2SE 5.0 download area. Once there choose the "J2SE 5.0 JRE" (which is the latest Java Runtime Environment).
That address, if you want to go right there, is as follows:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
To: ScottM1968
I've already installed it and uninstalled all my previous JRE's.

Thanks for the update. I'm developing in Java and it's important to know of sandbox vulnerabilities.

So let me get this straight ... download the new version, uninstall any previous version of JAVA I have on the system, and then install the new one, right?
The new install won't overlay the old one? Or is it just safer to uninstall the old and install the new?

That is a link that will let you download the previous bad 1.4.2. The newer 1.4.2 is listed above (version 6, I think) and the best version is 1.5.0 also listed above in the developer's section.
To: ScottM1968
Holy cow. I screwed that up?

Hey, don't worry. I expected it the "Free Download" link to give the new 1.5.0 I've had for several months.
We were both wrong and Sun hasn't updated its own link.
To: dennisw; Eagle9; ScottM1968; TomGuy
When Y'all decide what one we REALLY need please make the link in large bold print, Thanks

OK,,silly question for those of us who are technically impaired.
I am not a developer, just an internet computer user. I use FF 1.0. Do I need to worry about this and DL this new Java jive thing?
Thanks!
