Is there a way to set Java 7 so it will update automatically? I using JDK Standard edition on windows 7, 64bit. Java 6 would check for updates automatically and prompt you to install them. However, Java 7 doesn't appear to have any update mechanism. Even the "Update" tab in the Java Control Panel is gone.
I think this might be the issue. From the Oracle Download Help pages:
Q: Why is the Update tab missing from the Java Control Panel?
A: Java Auto Update is currently not available for 64-bit versions of Java. 64-bit versions of Java do not include the Update tab in the Java Control Panel.

I have an application that's built in Java 10. Most users only have Java 8, so they would need to download Java 10 in order to use the application.
Would it be possible to make a launcher that could download Java 10 for them so they wouldn't need to think about that?
Since Java 9, there is a new tool named jlink that you can use to create a custom Java runtime environment with exactly the parts (modules) that your program needs. You could use this for your program, so that your users don't need to have a pre-installed Java runtime environment at all - you would give them the custom runtime environment included with your game.
Another possibility is to try to compile your program using JDK 8 - you can still download JDK 8 from Oracle. Depending on how you wrote your program, you might need to change a few things in your code to make it compile and run on Java 8.
You can distribute your app with JRE (i.e. that's what JetBrains do with their IDE's).

So if I wrote an application for windows 8-10 on java, would it work for old versions like windows 98. And will it work correctly?
Both of them got the newest versions of JRE for example.
Well, you can't install Java 8 on systems older than Vista, so some programs might not run (specifically ones that use Java 8 features and APIs). Otherwise, they would work the same way, unless you do some sort of hacks that may break things.
If you had done your project in oldest version of java supported in vista/xp/windows 7 systems your application works perfectly it only depends on java environment once if it is satisfied your application will run without any compactability issues.

I updated my java VM to v8. But still my command promt shows version is 1.8 and i am unable to run java commands in PC. What is the exact issue ? give me some suggestions to rectify this.....
Java 8 and 1.8 mean the same thing. If java -version reports 1.8.0, then you are using Java 8. So there is no issue: nothing to rectify.
The official word on version numbers and names for Java 8 is in this Oracle document:
Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 Names and Versions.

I am stuck with my Install Jammer setup creation for an application that requires Java and MySQL.
The problem is, when I don't have a Java version in the system , it prompts the user to select the java path and automatically goes to the Browser window to download the Java.
This occurs when I use the built in java checking action Locate Java Runtime
I don't need the setup to automatically open the Java download path, instead shows the Link to Java download in a new pane. How can I resolve this?
Please any one do reply as soon as possible as I need the solution so early.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone know how to remove Java 7 from Mountain Lion?
Installed it, didn't work properly so installed Java 6 and now everything works fine. Want to now get rid of Java 7.
Done it, I kept searching for mountain lion, searched for remove java 7 from mac and it was the same as doing it on mountain lion anyway:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
that solved it.
have you looked at your Java Preferences? /Applications/Utilities I dont think it will allow you to remove Java 7 but it will enable you to decide which version to use by default. Also if you are using an IDE such as Eclipse you are able to set a preference for a particular version on different projects. Can you give more details about it not working properly?
