If you have java on your system, it's important to keep it up to date, as older versions (especially 1.4.2_03) are alleged to have security "holes" in them. In other words, not only are older versions not required, they in fact represent a security risk.
I want to THANK all of you for taking the time in answering my question. I appreciate it. This forum has been a great asset for me and I applaud the people who takes time to share their knowledge.

Update4 has been out for a while now, but java.com is still only pushing v3 with their auto-install utility/page.
On a related note, should I ditch all the old NET frameworks? ;p

If you have trouble deciding that...usually you can delete them all and reinstall it and by default it will have all the updates.
