Keep more old versions of Java

[rolandwalker]

Would it be OK if I dig out more of the old revisions of Java from the git history and keep them here (under distinct names) ?

I think it may help for any experiments and it's no harm. 👍

I submitted an update to the java7 cask today to bump from 7u65 to 7u67 because 7u65 was not downloadable anymore. Question remains if the Oracle download locations for old versions remain valid. If not, why keep the old versions of the cask?

[rolandwalker]

Ah, I was assuming Oracle provided old versions for download. And somewhere they must, at least for some customers.

JDKs or JREs?

[rolandwalker]

JDKs I suppose. Whatever is useful.

I prefer JDK's, as I use Homebrew via Chef to automate the setup of development workstations.
