Hi, all.
I'm implementing Oracle 9i on an XP desktop for a project using Java. Would prefer to have used 10g, but we have physical memory restrictions (VMWare under XP only allows 2G, and 9i has a smaller memory footprint)...
Anyway.
9i installs with a couple of older JREs (1.4.2, I believe).
The project requires version 1.6.
I *believe* that the following is true:
-Oracle 9i requires the versions of the JRE that it installs;
-these JREs cannot be uninstalled, nor omitted with the product install;
-altering the Windows search path such that the desired (1.6) JRE\bin directory is listed first will allow the desired JRE to be accessed, without interfering with Oracle.
Can anyone confirm that the above is correct? As well, a pointer to a document that discusses why Oracle needs these versions of the JRE would be appreciated. If I could remove them, and only have the most recent version installed on the computer, that would be ideal.
Thanks kindly for any comments!

Thanks, Michel.
I did find an Oracle technote which suggests an option of overwriting the binaries in $ORACLE_HOME/jre with the binaries of the desired JRE.
The specific technote was in reference to Oracle for UNIX, and I'm on Windows.
But I'm wondering if that option would be problematic - just overwriting the jre binaries in the ORACLE_HOME with the desired version?
