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

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

    Duffymo, 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:

  1. Google "download jdk 1.4.2 for windows"
  2. Visit one of the first hits: Oracle Java Archive.
  3. 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.

    It 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
  • @Jooky: at Dec 29, 2009, that page looked entirely different. – BalusC Aug 22 '11 at 22:02
  • 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
