which version to download

I'm new to this forum and will begin studying JAVA in the fall at the University. I'm a little confused about which version of java to download.

I think I should download "JDK 6 Update 2" to use on Windows XP Home edition.

Before I spend the time downloading is that the correct version to download?

Thanks in advance for you help

Unless your University tells you which version, download the latest release from Sun. The latest is Java 6u2 as you stated.

Thanks you very much for your answer. I'll be downloading to my personal computer at home. I want to get a head start.
