Java Automatic Updates Tool

I keep getting the popup window for the J6u1 update.Does this do a smart "upgrade" or does it install a brand new jdk1.6.0_01 installation?

currently it will install a brand new version and you need to uninstall the old one manually. Starting from SDK update 2 I believe the installation is going to become smarter with upgrade possibilities. Just a few more months to wait I guess.

Note that only the JRE will be updated, not the SDK

Thank you so much. Thats exactly what I feared.

Im not going to bother then. Who needs the hassle of installing/uninstalling. Thats 300 MB thats getting deleted and

shuffled about every update.

Do you know if it prompts you to uninstall first?

I didnt think it was advised to uninstall an old version after installing

a new one.
