you can uninstall 2 and 3... but why would you want to
also it looks like you have the java software development kit, as opposed just the runtime environmnet.
The Software development kit sdk allows you to write and build java applications
The Runtime environment (jre) lets you run applications built on other machines.
is the other person using your machine using it for programming? in which case you may want to leave all updates on the system.
You are correct. Keeping older versions serves no purpose, and may represent a security risk.
The latest JRE/JDK is version 6. You should uninstall the older versions via Add/Remove, and go to
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and download JDK 6 ( the file to download for offline installation is jdk-6-windows-i586.exe) which also includes JRE 6.
Yes, the person writes java applications so the development kit must remain.
You ask why uninstall other updates listed in item 3 other than the latest update?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but by leaving older updates on system, doesn't this leave you open to or vulnerable to security fixes addressed on more current updates?
I pose the question again? What can be uninstalled?? from items 1 and 3
