Where to download JRE 1.6.0?

[Peter Christensen]

I just wonder, why they are still distributing JRE 1.5.0_10 on www.java.com.

I now use JRE 1.6.0 (JRE 6), which I downloaded together with the new Java
Development Kit (JDK 1.6.0) from java.sun.com. I would like my user to
update to JRE 1.6.0 also, but he shouldn't really have to download JDK 1.6.0
too, because he is just using the program and not a programmer.

Are there anybody who knows, why they still have JRE 1.5.0_10 on
www.java.com, and where JRE 1.6.0 can be downloaded without the JDK? -Maybe
it's just a matter of days before java.com is updated, so JRE 1.6.0 can be
downloaded?

Rgds,
Pete C

Thanks, that solved my problem. But I still don't understand why
www.java.com is distributing the 1.5.0_11 (today it's update 11 and not 10)
version of the JRE. But ok, maybe JRE 6 (1.6.0) should be tested for some
time before it should be made the default.
