As I stated in a different thread, to get the older version of Java Runtime Engine, 
you
have to sign up for an Oracle users account - with a valid email address for
verification.

For you Windows users, I have now posted a few of those earlier JREs online.

At the bottom of the "default English" install page for the NA-DVD, I have listed 6u20
through 6u23.  Tom stated that 6u23 was a slow version, so decided to give you a 
choice.
He told me he uses 6u21 and it works well for him.

For the direct links, use the following:

http://libreoffice-na.us/English/jre/jre-6u23-windows-i586.exe

http://libreoffice-na.us/English/jre/jre-6u22-windows-i586.exe

http://libreoffice-na.us/English/jre/jre-6u21-windows-i586.exe

http://libreoffice-na.us/English/jre/jre-6u20-windows-i586.exe

My Ubuntu 10.04 system uses OpenJDK, but their site is still down.  If it ever comes
back up, I will see about downloading their version of the JRE and adding them to my
LibreOffice-NA.US domain, just in case they go down again.

One more note...
I hope the Foundation has secured permission from Oracle to host "their" software 
because
if it is not secured then it can be considered a DMCA violation.

Then why would they require everything but your blood type to download their old 
software?  No other company I know does that and if they require my blood to have free 
copies of their old free software for available for free, then take the blood of a guy 
who is on a fixed income with a work related disability living in government housing, 
who's wife has Alzheimer's.  Good press for them, would it?

What is DMCA?  I am not up to all of the alphabet soup names.  Is this something like 
the record industry threating 60 year old ladies with pay me $100,000 or I sue you for 
$10,000,000 and 20 years in jail for downloading music that they did not but cannot 
prove it?

DMCA - Digital Millenium Copyright Act
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act

It has to do with Intellectual Property (IP) rights.  Basically, Oracle owns the software 
and the Foundation has to have permission to host their software on the Foundation's 
server.  If that permission is not secured then Oracle has the right to issue a DMCA 
Takedown Notice.

It doesn't matter if the software is free or not.  What matters is Oracle owns it and has 
the right to approve who can distribute it.  Failure to follow a DMCA Takedown Notice can 
lead to the shutdown of the Foundation's server(s) by the hosting company.

I STRONGLY suggest removing Oracle's software (or any other 3rd party software) until the 
Foundation secure's permission to host it/them.  I really would hate to see the 
Foundation's server shutdown over an DMCA IP violation.
