Mail Bag
Under “Java SE 6 End of Life (EOL) Notice” it says that “Java SE 6 will no longer be publicly available after July 2012.” This sounds like middle of next year we won’t be able to download preexisting versions of Java SE 6. That can’t be right?! Java SE 1.4 and 5.0 (long past their EOL dates) are still available for download. Craig Hollister
