Archive: Download Java 6 Runtime


Download Java 6 Runtime
On the Wiki I found an example of a script that will check the version of the installed Java Runtime and if it's too old it will download and install the required version.

However I didn't manage to make this work for Java 6. The reason seems to be that the example uses Java 5 with a download link from an unsecure site.

Java 6 is only available from a secure site where the download only works from my browser if I first accept a license. When using this link from the installer it gives an error.

So I see two possible solutions to this: someone points me to a link where Java 6 can be downloaded from an unsecured location (I didn't find any) or someone can show me how to add some kind of license-acceptance page to the installer that would allow it to download it from the secure site.

Any input, ideas, hints or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

If it is permitted by Sun, you could add it on your own server, and add a separate license page on your installer where users must accept java's license before proceed to download and install the last version.
