Package Manager User Interface

You can view the current distribution units held by the Java Package Manager using the Downloaded Program Files shell extension provided by Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. To use this feature, open Internet Explorer and select the %Windir%\Downloaded Program Files directory in the Address box. This displays all downloaded components. Each Java distribution unit is listed with a J icon. If you select the Details option from the View menu, the display will also show the size and version number of each distribution unit. For example:
