I can't sympathize with this article and most users in this thread because I don't understand why anyone uses Java within web browsers. Today, Java is for server-side code. Full stop. Okay, I know some people still have to use Applets, but none of us here, right? Kidding aside, I've installed the Oracle JDK on dozens of Windows machines and not once have I been prompted to install a toolbar or bloatware. 1. Navigate to java.oracle.com 2. Select Java SE. 3. Select to download JDK SE 7u11 4. Accept license agreement 5. Download Windows x64 6. Open installer 7. Select to install "Development Tools" and "Source Code" (disable "Public JRE") 8. Wait and then close installer 9. Run c:\java\bin\java.exe 10. Review Windows' "Programs" and note only JDK has been installed; no toolbars 11. Celebrate I suspect many people are installing the JRE, which is something I've never done. Since the JDK can run Java code, why install the JRE at all?
