Has anyone managed to download the latest JRE,
from Sun's site, without using a browser?

Did you use wget? If so, how did you get the url?

One could quickly knock-up a java method to do the
downloading, but again, you would have trouble to
state the url (which is probably only good in the
context of a session built up wile the browser is
used to follow Sun's links, starting at java.com).

Sun have stopped ftp transfers, so I'm wondering if
there is a way to get the JRE from the command-line.
Any takers?
