JAVA programs ... How many do I need?

[Jimquist]

I was just looking in my Add-Remove Programs and found listed:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10 size 120.00MB
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11 size 120.00MB
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6 size 119.00MB
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9 size 120.00MB
Java(TM) 6 Update 2 Size 111.00MB
Java(TM) 6 Update 3 Size 111.00MB
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1 size 134.00MB

Seems like I shouldn't need all of these. Which ones can I safely Remove?
Using XP Home SE2

thanks in advance, Jim

Can I remove older versions of the JRE after installing a newer version?
