Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Addon Pack

General Information: The Java Addon module is added to an AutoPatcher for Windows release, and located in \modules\AddOns.

What's Included:

Java.com said:

What is Java (JRE)?
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is what you get when you download Java software. The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java platform core classes, and supporting Java platform libraries. The JRE is the runtime portion of Java software, which is all you need to run it in your Web browser. When you download Java software, you only get what you need - no spyware, and no viruses.

A few preliminary questions:

• ... Do I need or want Java - see Java.com
  
• ... Do I need 32-bit Java, 64-bit Java, or both - see Which version of Java?
  
• ... Why am I doing this manually, what happened to the Java release?
  [indent]Answer: Sun and now Oracle removed the ability to get a direct (permanent) link to the executable, as a result, we no longer maintain the Java script. If you only want to update Java it's easier to install it on your own. If you'd like to have Java as an AutoPatcher release please follow the Steps listed below.[/indent]

Latest Version:
Java (JRE) 6u26 (x86)

• Name: jre-6u26-windows-i586.exe
  
• Size: 16619296
  
• MD5: 216CA7B04A6898B427643AC683674777

Java (JRE) 6u26 (x64)

• Size: 16920864
  
• MD5: 169CD52AD4B57E6439171FA411A4B6EF

Important:

for those that wish download from ORACLE, attached to this post yours will find java_jre_x64_u23.zip and java_jre_u23.zip. if you wish use those instead the version that can be downloaded from java.com, please remove the old files first, then browse to this link, choose download JRE, select your platform (windows, for the x86 version and/or windows x64 for the x64 version). don't forget to check "i agree" and then choose jre-6u23-windows-i586.exe for the x86 version and jre-6u23-windows-x64.exe for the x64 version

all the executables shall be saved into modules\AddOns\SunJava_x86_files

don't forget: if you mix old versions with the current one, your release will turn into unofficial

NB: Windows XP 64-bit & Windows Vista 64-bit Edition are not currently supported.

I think that 64-bit IS supported (or at least it can be downloaded)

That download is from the Sun Developer Network, not from Java.com and it is not a stable link.

You can download from SDN yourself, but you must then use the standalone module to install, not this Addon pack.

Any reason why this is still not updated?

Well, seeing that AutoPatcher is barely hanging on to a skeleton crew of release maintainers, and that Java is an easy upgrade
on your own, that may have something to do with it.

gUiTaR_mIkE, is right. basically, the issue with this one is related more to SUN. let me explain: each release maintainer can update this script. in fact, i already have the new module for this one since some time ago. but thanks to SUN crazy download links and police about certain countries, i can have all the free time in the world to update this one, but i can't grab the link, because by some reason, when i try the command to take the direct download link that works with apup, i'm redirected to an mirror that requires ticket. each one mirror that requires ticket from SUN is an useless link, because it will works only for a few downloads and then will die. also, ticket based links makes apup crashes. just to give you an sample, to take the download link for this one, you must choose cURL (or at least another tool that makes log). for cURL, the command must be something like this:

curl -I "http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=27984"

(this is for the -p version for this month. for the next ones, you just take the link from java.com and add +1 in the BundleId to take the right version)

but thanks to sun, the only link that i can get is something like this one:

C:\Documents and Settings\Cristiano\Desktop\curl_719_3>curl -I "http://javadl.su
n.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=27983"
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

s-i586-p-s.exe&BHost=javadl.sun.com

and this kind of link is ticket based and will not work for longer. but this is only part of the issue, because you need to have the proper time to take the working link and also update the script. sometimes, you don't have booth or you are unable to. right now, i have the proper time to do that task, but i'm unable to take the download link thanks to sun. ans the ones that can take that link are currently overloaded and can't do that. they have his own lives and problems to deal with and they do that by free will only. so, basically, there's 2 solutions for that:
1 - someone take the working link and sent it to me update this script or;
2 - sit and wait until the time issue is solved

sorry, but that is the naked truth

Is this what you wanted?

curl -I http://javadl.sun.co...?BundleId=27984

This is the link generated.

Java BundleId=27984

If this isn't what you need let me know and I will try and help.

JRE 6 Update 14 is now out.

http://java.sun.com/...loads/index.jsp

[Cristiano]

not quite really. we only are able to catch the download links from java.com, not from java.sun.com. at java.com, the links us to be updated after sun.com, meaning that we will be forced to stay with v13 for some time
