Thank you for the answer. I list the answer I got:
1. I call SUN Java support engineer, they told me If I don't use
Java to "development" the software, I don't need JDK. The
"browser" does NOT use JDK. I even don't need remove it.
2. Most of the answer from this mail list told me. If i want
remove the old JDK, there have 5 modules need remove.
The packages that need to be removed are, in order:
SUNWjvdem (Java demo programs)
SUNWjvman (Java man pages)
SUNWjvjit (JIT compiler - you may not have this one)
SUNWjvdev (Java development package)
SUNWjvrt (Java run-time package)
3. Some people mention installed new JDK does NOT require remove
old JDK, but old JDK take more space than new JDK. Some people
mention ORACLE use it's own Java JDK, NOT SUN JDK. one person
mention VM use JDK, I don;t know it true or NOT.
