Please confirm that your internet connection is a 110 baud telex line on
Antarctica, and that you need to copy every byte by hand from the telprinter
paper to your terminal prompt to write them to disk. I'd be happy to assist if
I knew downloading 70 - not a couple of hundred - megabytes was a substantial
chore for you.

Also, tell me you're not running a 6u13 based service that exposed to the
internet? There are remotely triggerable DOS issues that has been resolved
since u13. The latest patch release is update 37, that's a whopping 24 
security and stability improving patch releases ahead of your environment.

Besides, if your source code, build system, and service configuration is so
fragile it requires several hours of work just to upgrade the JDK, I recommend
that you take some time to fix that. Changing your $PATH and $JAVA_HOME
variables shouldn't be that much work. And while you're at it, consider
upgrading to JDK 7, as JDK 6 (non-for-pay) has a scheduled EOL in November 2012.
