Re: [libreoffice-website] JRE download link

I just went to this site and then use their download link to get to 
"http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp";.  For Windows there is only 
two options Online and Offline installs with both dealing with 
"jre-6u29-windows-i586-s.exe".  So there is not 32-bit and 64-bit 
version for Windows.

Linux, on the other hand, does have 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  To be 
honest, I still would rather just get the update for the JRE from the 
repositories.  BUT, for those who want to latest and greatest JRE, you 
can download the latest version for Linux and install it.

Also, there is information about why Java 7 is not available for users yet.

quote:

Why is Java SE 7 not yet available on java.com?
The new release of Java is first made available to the developers to 
ensure no major problems are found before we make it available on the 
java.com website for end users to download the latest version. If you 
are interested in trying Java SE 7 it can be downloaded from Oracle.com
