downloading Java
I am unable to find a forum or help for my question the Java sites.
perhaps you can tell me where I can find the information I need.
I am unable to download Java.
I am dog-sitting for friends. They have a 6 mo old Dell computer. I haven't used windows in 10 years. I have downloaded a free program that requires Java.
I have tried to download Java several times, but it is undetected on this machine, and the program doesn't work. They subscribe to A.O.L dial up.
Please advise and if you know of a forum that can help me, I would appriciate it.
thankyou

I didn't understand logic in Java for a long time.
Java is divided to 3 parts:
1) Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
2) Java Standard Edition (Java SE) - you need this
3) Java Micro Edition (Java ME).
You can download Java SE @ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
There's a long list. Download JDK 6u1 (Java Development Kit Update 1). It's not an update itself but the latest whole package. JDK means Java Development Kit . Although you are not developing, it contains everything you need to run Java apps.
For a non-developer I would download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1 but it does not contain Web Start so. Your call...
Which OS you use?You just need to download JRE, J2SE and other parts which is usable in your OS. I use IDE NetBeans, available IDE NetBeans is designed for Linux, Windows, Soalaris.
