Re: [SLE] Versions of jre (Java Runtime Environment)

I discovered that my system has three different versions of the Java

came directly from Sun (but still in the form of an rpm). Is it a
problem to have multiple versions around?

No.

And if so, which one should I keep? (Yast doesn't
object to having all three.)

It's hard to say, it depends on what you use Java for. If it's just to
run the odd Java-applet in your browser, pick the newest version.
