Thanks Angel, I am glad to know it's not just me who is confused by Java, and that given Sun's approach, it is not supposed to make sense...

Also, when I go to the Sun Java web site and click on downloads, I see
a download for JRE version 5 update 4, and nothing like "Sun Java
Plugin 1.4". Am I going to the wrong place at Sun? Or is the Java
Plugin just a part of what is installed by the Runtime Environment?

In my opinion, Sun's Java terminology is far from coherent; I've
always got confused; they call the same product in different ways.
I'm not sure of the technical details, but from a practical point of
view I have come to this conclusion.
I think it can be accepted that the plugin is a part of the JRE.
Regarding versions, it seems that from v.1.5 they started to call it
v.5; so, "JRE version 5 update 4" is likely the same as the expected
"JRE version 1.5.4".
I bet you are in the right place, Frieda.
