Is it necessary to keep old versions of the JRE package? If someone has to install an old version, he only has to adjust the version number and remove the uninstall strings for more recent versions (and he can even leave them in the package without problems). You can get the version number from the last digits. So 3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0160020 would be the string for JRE (1.)6 Update 2. Maybe we could keep only the last recent version plus a short description how to install older versions. -- Laudrin 12:12, 13 July 2008 (CEST)
- I doubt it is necessary to keep the old versions. As you say, a short description should suffice. Alternatively, we could create another page, called i.e. Java:older_versions.
