Microsoft JRE (1.0-1.2 I think): Pray you aren't using this
.
Sun's Java Runtime Environment:
1.1, 1.2 will probably cause issues.
1.3 doesn't have some of the handy new stuff. Might cause issues depending on if they rely on some of the new libs however often you can get around this by having some additional files.
1.4 has been out a while and what quite a few people build assuming.
5.0 is the most up-to-date (they just skipped a few versions) and has some new language features that are not backwards compatible. Thankfully very few people are building to this yet since it is quite new.
IBM also have a JRE but you probably won't see it.
There might also be a few other flavors out there as well. The newer versions are built to run the older code.
Flash!
Err... it's a Macromedia controlled thing so you should just see a version progression from 1.0-7.0 (and 8.0 when it is realized if it hasn't been already). You'll probably find version 6.0 and 7.0 common.
Servers!
Err probably... Windows NT; Windows 2000; Windows XP; Windows 2003 Server in a Windows environment. A big bunch of versions of Linux. Mac OSX. Unix (lots of them).
Hope this random brain dump helps.
