[X4U] Java Versions

[Lee Licata]

Rod,

thanks.

In that folder, i have folders for versions 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.4, 1.4.2,  
1.5, 1.50, A, Current, and CurrentJDK.

Alias folders 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 point to 1.3.1, 1.4.2, and 1.5.0  
respectively.

Alias folder Current points to Folder "A". (I cannot tell what  
version resides in folder "A" but I have to presume (maybe very  
wrong) that it is version 1.5.0.)

Alias folder CurrentJDK points to folder 1.5.0.

( I guess this makes sense to someone, because it sure does not to  
me.) (But that is not the question....)

I thought I read somewhere, maybe when installing version 1.5 that  
Apple was retaining version 1.4.2 because some sites have not updated  
to version 1.5.

So, in your opinion, what versions, if any, can I toss?

TIA

Lee

I haven't noticed any problems with it.  JDKs are installed in

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
