Uninstalling Old Versions
==Uninstalling Old Versions==
 
To uninstall the old Java 7 and 8 versions you can use a [http://wpkg.org/index.php?title=Remove_Java a removal package].
Older versions of Java did not uninstall themselves when new versions were installed. These older versions can pose a security risk even with newer versions installed. Older versions should be uninstalled unless they are required for some reason. Attempting to uninstall every old version of Java in the package definition can be very slow. Only include these uninstall commands in your package definition if there is a possibility that clients will have the older Java versions.
