Hello!
I am preparing for 'OCPJP Java 6' exam, exam IZ0-851, previously I think whose name/code was 310-065. I already read the book 'Head First Java,' 2nd ed. (Java 5.0), by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates, and just completed reading their 'Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Study Guide for exam 310-065'.
Now, before going for their another book 'OCP Java SE 6 Practice Exams', I want to do practice of programs of Java.

Now, I bought a second computer and wanted to install JDK (of Java SE 6) on it. So, I went to the Oracle website, but found that there are various versions/releases for Java 6 SE. There was a simple 'J(SE)DK 6' and then 'JDK 6u1' upto 'JDK 6u45'. I wanted to know that on exactly which Java SE 6 version I should practice programs for preparing for the OCPJP 6 exam. I mean I am thinking that there may be some differences with in each subsequent Java 6 version release, so practicing on the right version would be better. Can anybody help please?

There is no difference in any of these versions from the certification perspective. So you should get the latest.

HTH,
Paul.
