I think 1.3.1 brings more stability, and besides, one great "benefit" of Java besides its multi-platform support is that there comes one version for every product you install. But why does Oracle install 2 and uses the now obsolete 1.1.8, not supported by Sun if I am not mistaken ?

I would have espected some flags to be able to use JDK1.3.1 for OEM. I tried to remove the 1.1.8 with UI, seemed to be possible, but then I got many dependencies that made this impossible.

Maybe can you give me some reasons ?
