How to get a JRE for an old version of eclipse?

Question

For school assignments we need to use eclipse 3.6. I downloaded it but now can't find a suitable JRE for it. It says I should use JavaSE-1.6, but it is not here

Anyone know where I can find this, or if another JRE version will do the job?

Answer 1

JRE 1.6 is the same as JRE 6

At version 1.5 they starting naming them version 5, 6, 7 etc.

So on that site download Java SE 6

Link for the latest version of JRE 6 is here.

Choose the one appropriate for your environment.
