Java 2 Runtime Environment

[Guest]

In my Add/Remove Programs I noticed I have Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2. It takes up 84 MB. Since I just surf the web, use email and Word, is it safe to delete this program? Thanks

Hi, Most likely not. Java is used in many web pages.

In my Add/Remove Programs I noticed I have Java 2 Runtime Environment SE

v1.4.2. It takes up 84 MB. Since I just surf the web, use email and Word,
is it safe to delete this program? Thanks

I wouldn't. Sooner or later you'll visit a web page that uses a Java
applet, then you'll want it.

If you're worried about 84 meg, I would definitely get a larger HD.

You installed the " NetBeans IDE v 3.5.1 with J2SE v 1.4.2 COBUNDLE " .
" NetBeans IDE is an integrated development environment (IDE) for
writing, compiling, testing, and debugging J2SE applications and J2EE
web tier applications. It includes a full-featured text editor with
syntax highlighting and error checking, visual design tools, Ant
support, version control system support, and many other features. It is
bundled with the Java 2 SDK as a "cobundle". "

If you're not going to be doing any java development you can uninstall
it and get this package instead :
