What to install? Java 6 or Java 7?

[Berryracer]

They are both being updated, shall I install Java 6 or Java 7?

some sites I visit require Java but I am confused which one to go for

thanks

I don't see any reason not to use Java 7 at this point.

Remove java 6 and keep java 7 update 5 (if not updated to latest version)

ah ok so I guess Java 7 is enough for everything

thanks

...and remove all old versions unless you specifically need them for some reason. The JVM has been the subject of a number of well publicized vulnerabilities lately and you should definitely use the most current version...and nothing else if you can avoid it...and like anything else, don't install it unless you really need it.
