Java Runtime Environment 8 Update 20


jalaffa

Recommended Posts

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which enables applets to run in popular browsers; and Java Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. Users should install the 32-bit version if they are using 32-bit browsers. If you use both 32-bit and 64-bit browser interchangeably, you need a Java Plug-in for each browser. Hence you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java respectively.

Thanks to sternog for the update.

False positive. Eset AV doesn't detect anything on both versions.

I'm also wondering how the !$#& did they managed to increase the x64 version size in almost a %200, after just some "build" changes? Besides, I was able to open the previous update with 7-Zip, while with this last one that's not possible anymore. :wtf:

Based on the ridiculous size increase and quick offering of update 25, I think I'll hold off on installing this one for a while!

Wait for a bit more stability...

Maybe something wrong or they change the way to pack, when packaging the last update (8.0.20 or 8.0.25)

But when it's installed the size is quite the same betwenn 8.0.11 and 8.0.20 or 8.0.25 : approx 157 Mo

No problem here. Installed on Windows 8.1 Pro x64.

Did you try downloading the installer again?.

Is there really much? For example, after installing Google Chrome is 1300-1400 MB (mega bytes), or 1.3-1.4 GB (gigabytes).

And is not yet included backup installer and updater.

Also, it does not contain the so-called cache files and the backup files, which usually located in the "User Data" or "profile" folder.

And usually java is not needed to be installed. I don't have any installed java already for two or more years. .

Java use to be sort of hard to uninstall some years ago .. One time I uninstalled to update it and some registry keys got stuck I could install older builds but not the current one at the time . I searched awhile and found the keys I needed to delete to update. That's why I never do betas. But I uninstalled it with Revo uninstaller today it worked real nice. The offline x86 installer no longer has false positives with avast so I done uninstall and reinstall . But I only use java for J Downloader , I never use it in my browser for years even Firefox for a very long time has a warning about the plug in . I dont even use x64 Java . Also if you use LibreOffice or Vuze you need it some programs or depended on it.

Yes indeed, there are some programs, excluding the games, which require that Java is installed. Most of these are third-party download and upload programs.

However, in the web browser should be java enabled. Otherwise, do not open a lot of things on the website, but nowadays there is more and more used not java, but jQuery.

For example is used in the so-called pull-down menu, spoilers, clocks and timers, download links management, etc...

Often it is argued that Java is so dangerous etc. It is the only fully commercial gimmick and nothing more.

Java is still the only one of code, which is used to write programs, nothing else.

A different matter is this one, who uses it and how it is used.

Some time ago, was told the same story for the Windows VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) code.

And most of all - the vast majority of people do not know these things at all. Don't know nothing other than the name, but still speak how dangerous it is....

JavaScript is needed to run certain things in your browser witch in Firefox or FireFox type browsers can be controlled with no script .

JavaScript and Java are not the same thing there (very) distant cousins.

Not many sites even run with real Java anymore like back in the early 2000s
