Hi guys!  :) I think you are talking about the latest Development Kit.

Kamulko!

I think 1.5.0_02 must be the latest version in your language as Umath mentioned because there is definitely a 1.5.0_03 version of JRE available, in English at least.

Hi, Frank! Happy to find you again  :)

Maybe you are right but I tested it on the English site, as you can see  ??? . If I open my console, I can also choose the interface language of the panel... is a mistery... 8)

ADDED: please, can you check if your java is the beta version? The official current version is installed by default when you check for updates.

Hi Kamulko!

Seems to be a full version:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Java JRE is notorious for not recognising that an update is available: maybe that's the source of the mystery!

Regards,

FF

Maybe we have the same version but the last 2 numbers after the "_" are the symbols of the different locations...  :P...  I say this because at this moment I checked the java package on my laptop (OS in en/us language). I surrender!  ;D

That number's definitely the update number. Have you tried downloading the latest version and installing it over the old one?

Download the full package as the online install will perhaps not recognise that you need to update at all.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

This is what I normally do to force JRE to update.

Don't forget to check for the old version in Add/Remove because if it isn't removed it will still be a security vulnerability.

Hi Kamulko,

I have the same version as FreewheelinFrank, Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_03-b07).   I've also heard the update checking from within Sun Java isn't always completely reliable, so I watch for updates and do it manually.

Maybe I'm going to more trouble than is necessary, but I also uninstall the old java, reboot, and then install the new.

Nothing to do: uninstalled and re-installed: "You have the latest..."  ::)... I'm curious to know something about from the Sun guys!!!  ;D (we are posting at the same time and I see now your post. Thanks Inconnu). You are from France? Inconnu is the same as Unknown/Sconosciuto  :)

OK. I can't understand a thing now!  >:( Today updated my Java. But about screen is showing this as I understand old version, but update says "Up to date".  ??? I think I'll need to download it directly from website.

Me, too.  Finally, I've got a multi-language version, which shows the version as 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_03-b07) in my OS' language.

Yep, manual update helps.  ;) But because of my stupid brain I've installed development kit, not runtime enviroment. So I had to remove sometrhing after that!  ;D Thanks god kit had runtime enviroment as standalone installation.  ;D

Thank you all for the advice.....and also to FF for giving me an easy explanation  of how to do it, I now have the new version and am back online so I must have done something right...... :)

Sometimes my silly questions turn out to be not so silly........ ;D

Hello SUSZANNAH,

He is only silly, that never asks a question. And all of us on birth knew absolutely nothing. It is going to be very, very warm on this side of the North Sea.  :P

greetings,

I have read and read all of the above.  I wish I had been here when it was being hashed out.......but...
I am pretty sure I don't have the latest version.  Just intuition + things just happen to me.
I went to the download page FF referred to, but I saw several places of things to download and I didn't see the version # that he mentioned.

Could someone please point out not only what but where I should be clicking to get the lastest version.

Plus do I understand before installing the new one that I should uninstall the old one through the install/uninstall page?
Thanks
