Where can I find a JDK for 32 bit Windows? [closed]

Question

For the life of me I can't seem to find a working version of the Java SE JDK for a 32 bit Windows machine. Where did oracle put it?

Thanks, Nathan

Answer 1

Go on the Oracle website - the thing you are looking for is x86, not x32.

You can pick whichever version of Java you need. The newest one is Java 7, but keep in mind that a lot of people are still using Java 6.

I think it is an important skill (especially if you plan to do serious work with Java) to know how to maneuver in the Oracle website (and documentation) because you will be using it a lot. Try to avoid Google, and other mirror websites, it's always the safest to take things from the source.

For JDK 7,

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jdk-7-download-432154.html

You will just need to select the Windows x86, which the file name is: jdk-7-windows-i586.exe

For JDK 6u38 (the latest),

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u38-downloads-1877406.html

You will just need to select the Windows x86, which the file name is: jdk-6u38-windows-i586.exe
