From where can I download Sun JDK 1.4.2 for Windows. I have checked Sun's website and since they have stopped the support to this version it is no longer available for download.

Stopped support for over a year. It ran out in Oct 2008, if I recall correctly. Even JDK 5 is reaching the the end of its life. Why on earth do you think you need it? – duffymo Dec 29 '09 at 14:34

1@duffymo: JDK5 has already been EOL'd, as of October 30 this year. – skaffman Dec 29 '09 at 14:36

4Duffymo, that's a bit of an overly-judgy question; there are enough easily-conceived-of reasons someone would need an old JDK (having to support a legacy app on a legacy platform, having to perform forensic analysis of a historic app, etc)... – delfuego Dec 29 '09 at 14:37

Steps to find it:
- Google "download jdk 1.4.2 for windows"
- Visit one of the first hits: Oracle Java Archive.
- Read the warning, twice, and follow the link to the Java SE 1.4 area.
There you can find several archived 1.4.2 downloads, the currently latest for Windows being 1.4.2_19.

1It looks like the newest version offered for windows at the location above is Java SE Development Kit 1.4.2_19. All versions above that (up to 30 which is the last release) are for Solaris. – Roland Schaer Aug 22 '11 at 22:01

It appears the last release of 1.4.2 for Windows is Java SE Development Kit 1.4.2_19. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html, Java SE 1.4, then search for "windows". – Kevin Haines Sep 12 '11 at 06:07
