Downloading Java SDK?!

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Downloading Java SDK?!

Trying to get set up for Android again (I reinstalled my OS last month) - the Oracle site won't let me at it until I register or login??

I'm sure I didn't have to do that before? I don't actually want to, either! I just looked and there's a big-ass form to fill in - they want to know everything!!

I just tried http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and it didn't ask for anything.

That's Android SDK. I'm talking about Java SDK.

The Monkey docs are telling me to go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp - which is where I'm having trouble.

Never mind - just registered and downloaded it. Why can't people just let you have stuff any more without the Spanish Inquisition?

I should have known that. When googling for information I only remembered your question up to the word Andoid.

Does it ask you to register if you go via this URL and download "JDK"?

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

It doesn't ask me, where the original URL does indeed now ask.

Nope, J7 seems fine - I was trying to install J6 (which now requires registration for some dumb reason!)
