See in this ScreenShot, how there are 6 updates for Java.
now seeing as it has begun the Environment 6, and because they are so big, should/can i remove the 5 "Environment 5 Updates"?
because they take up 110-120MB each and that would give me some space.
yea you can all you need is the last one
Do you really need the Java updates?  I never update Java at all...
yeah, i occasionally use java and its just good to have.

I'm not trying to disagree with you but, how can you be sure?
Uninstall everything, then install Java 6.  Easiest way to be sure.
I'm not sure if the size on each package reflects the actual size of each update. I always thought that they just added onto the current one, so the sizes shown in add/remove were actually a combination of the previous stuff that was in the java directory plus the update. Meaning that the updates are overlapping each other and counting stuff in the same folder.

But zinga is right, to be safe, probably just install the newest one.
u know with that java thingy for psp can u watch vids on youtube and stuff?
Youtube has Flash videos (.flv) not java :P
Double post

well seeing as "Java 6 Update 1" is the newest one, and is a new version, wouldn't it be fine if i just removed the Java 5s?
