Summary	0003107: Missing outdated JRE packages in repository
Description	As a pentester, I'm often reaching leagacy equipment which requires Java 1.3-1.6. Currently only Java 1.7/1.8 are in the repository. I would like at least 1 version of each of Java 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 available. 1.6 and 1.5 would be the priority.
Steps To Reproduce	Try to use a web application which requires Java 1.6 to run a web applet.

rhertzog 2016-03-02 08:50 administrator ~0004798	$ apt-cache show openjdk-8-jre\|grep Provides Provides: java-runtime, java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime, java7-runtime, java8-runtime In theory any application/applet designed to work with an old java runtime should continue to work with the newer runtimes. We don't intend to add, old and obsolete versions of java to Kali.
