My PC recently crashed, or failed to boot again, probably hardware HDD problem but not sure it happened a while after Java download and a Garmin firmware update that worked OK but took ages. I need Java again to run JOSM and GPSPrune and don't want to go through installing a Win7.iso from scratch again. asked 28 Nov '14, 22:43  andy mackey |

Helpfully, JOSM's wiki has this question answered. That links (for me in English) to the java.com download page . answered 29 Nov '14, 12:18  SomeoneElse ♦ edited 29 Nov '14, 12:19 |
The "safest" site to get the Java installer from would be Java.com. I'm not sure what a Windows 7 ISO would have to with downloading or installing Java, though, so maybe your question isn't really what you wrote in the title. answered 29 Nov '14, 00:24  alester |
Umm, regarding your question title: see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Java_Runtime_Environment But, judging from your text you seem to have a PC problem which may require external help. answered 28 Nov '14, 23:40  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
"safe"? you did not not even link to the https version of this site. ;-) I really would prefer "my" link which has other very useful tips, e.g. on the bundled crapware by oracle and, most security-wise importantly, the java browser plugin. But, well, seems you guys do not like useful info and prefer more direct links. ;-)
If you're confused by the "Win7" comment have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Java_Virtual_Machine - that explains a bit about how it might have come to be mentioned (not that it's relevant now, of course).
