you can use the Jre version that works for your application , or a newer.
I mean that for people with low ram on old computer, no need to install the last one.

JavaTunes needs version 6 of Jre to play Frenchs songs on the Hungarian Thin Slacko 5.3.3.
Sometimes a newer version will not work.

s-kami , the problem with java is not so much to find newest versions of Java Runtime Environment than to find applications to run with it..
DataCrow, Jajuk, and makagiga (needs version 8 ) are of some interest.

Hello all.

I don't think it is useful to continue this thread on the old JRE 8u45, since as
I looked today, the current version of java is Version 8 Update 121,
published Jan. 17, 2017.

Can I suggest that you discuss the java programs in their own threads or
create a new thread for discussion? People will not look here for a
discussion of datacrow, for example.

Best regards.

Some java apps fail with last versions 8 of JRE (as Jdraw)
