Java 8 JDK for Windows 32-bit - java-8

I am trying to install SQL Developer on Windows 32-bit. Which requires Java 8 JDK, but only 64-bit and above versions are available in downloads. How can I download the JDK 8 32-bit version?

Here Is download Link
Java SE Development Kit 8u101
Go for Windows x86

Why does x86 represent 32bit

The best solution I could find for this is to download an earlier version of SQL Developer. I installed 3.2.2 version from the link below.

Updating IBM Websphere 8.5.5.14 and Java 1.7 on windows 2008 Server

I have a task to update 8.5.5.2 web sphere to 8.5.5.14 on a windows 2008 server. I have java 1.7 already installed (and java 6 as well) and all the profiles uses it.
How ever when i try to apply fix patch using IBM installation manager, by default it's installing Java 8 which is not supported on windows 2008.
Is there a way where i can by pass java 8 and install only the fix patch (8.5.5.14) from installation manager.
Any pointer/help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Installation Manager Screenshot:
No, WebSphere 8.5.5.14 requires Java 8, and Java 8 is not supported on Windows 2008 Server. If you must stay with Windows 2008 you can't update WebSphere past 8.5.5.13. More detail here: IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 8.0 Minimum Supported Operating Systems
This is what IBM documentation ( https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045339 ) says, I did some shortcuts to make key points easier to notice in a long article:
In 8.5.5.14 and later, it is planned that (Java8) SDK will be required for all new installations and all updates (fixpacks).
In 8.5.5.14 (...) prior operating system releases (such as Windows 2008 (...) ) will no longer be supported.
So unfortunately what you are trying to do is not supported:
Although Java7 is still fine as a runtime environment for your servers, for example if your business application is not yet Java8 compatible, you need to have Java8 installed as a default JVM for Websphere 8.5.5.14 "internal" requirements.
You cant have IBM's Java8 installed in Windows2008, which is mandatory for Websphere 8.5.5.14, that means you cant install Websphere 8.5.5.14.
In the end, I would like to remind you, that you can upgrade to a previous release: 8.5.5.13. Version 8.5.5.13 is 11 fixpacks newer than what you already have, maybe it will suffice for your needs.
Bottom line - upgrade windows to a current version that's not 11 years old. Or, better yet, put it on Linux. WAS is great on Linux! Red Hat, Suse, OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS are good flavors.

What version of NDIS to use and maybe even what WDK?

So I'm porting an old 32bit NIC driver which was written for NDIS 5.0. I'm targeting (if possible) all 64bit Windows versions starting from XP. What NDIS version to use? From what I've read it should be less then 6 because then Windows XP x64 won't be supported - is this true (I'm wondering because the x64 version of XP is not so conventional)?
Also what WDK version to use - I'm thinking of 7.1 but I don't know maybe even the newer 8.0, 8.1 and 10 somehow support Windows XP x64 NDIS?
I'm asking because from what I see the NDIS versions are all very different and I don't want to start re-writing my driver from scratch again.
And another question I'm wondering - what have NDIS to do with WDK? Does WDK have versions too (sorry if the question is stupid but I've never developed drivers before)? I see that there are NDIS-WDM drivers.
This post provides good information about OS and NDIS version compatibility:
The compatibility issue between NDIS version and Windows version
The WDK usually supports only current OS and 1-3 down-level OS. Windows 10 WDK would let you build for Win7, Win8, WIn8.1, Win10. To get WinXP support, you need to go down to WDK 7.1.0. This wiki provides the details of the down-level OS supported: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Kit. There isn't a way to use one version of WDK to get the driver built all the way from winXP to win10.
WDK is tied to OS versions and not NDIS. You need to pick the WDK corresponding to the OS you are targeting. There is a version of WDK released for each major release of Windows and during every release, the support for a down-level OS version might be dropped or retained.

OpenJDK Windows Distribution

Does anyone know of a OpenJDK distribution for Windows? Specifically, I am looking for JDK 8 32 bit. I found 64-bit distribution:
http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zulu
but I really need 32 bit.
MonkBen and others:
Thank you for highlighting the Zulu OpenJDK offering. You are correct that Azul only has 64-bit JDK 8, 7, and 6 distributions of OpenJDK available for Intel platforms today. Support for 32-bit JDKs remains an open community request.
Please review this Zulu Forum topic for more details on 32-bit support
https://support.azulsystems.com/hc/communities/public/questions/200914964-Regarding-32-bit-JDK-JRE-buildds-of-OpenJDk
Per the guidance there, you are welcome to join the Zulu forum and add your specific platform requests to that topic. We do include community requests in our roadmap activities and release planning, so the more votes for specific versions, platforms, and use cases, the better our planning.

Unable to install antlrworks2

I downloaded antlrworks2 from the tunnel vision labs website and tried to install it by running the antlrworks2.exe but getting the error "antlrworks2.exe is not a valid win32 application". I tried it on Win server 2003 as well as Win 7 32 bit but I got the same error.
I am using VS 2008 for development as the target language would be C#.
Is that the right way to install antlrworks? I believe antlrworks is a stand alone application or do I also need to install antlr? Has it got any dependency?
I know of an issue where the problem you describe appears on Windows XP, but haven’t heard of this on Windows Vista or later. The problem will be fixed for ANTLRWorks 2.0.1.
#7 Support running ANTLRWorks 2 on Windows XP
ANTLRWorks 2 requires you to install Java before running it. I am not sure whether or not it will work with just the JRE (runtime only) installed, so to be on the safe side I recommend installing the JDK (development kit). I recommend Java 7 for its performance advantages; the current release is 7u13.

When will the ADT plugin work with Eclipse 8.0?

The ADT plugin requires Eclipse 3.0 or 3.5.
I would like to upgrade my PC from Vista to Windows 7. But Eclipse 3.5 is not compatible with Windows 7 (as of today, 5/3/2010). Eclipse 8.0 is compatible with Windows 7, but the ADT plugin requires versions 3.0 or 3.5. Any solution in sight?
I'm running eclipse classic 3.5.2 (32bit) on Windows 7 (64bit) no problem.
I'm not even sure where you get Eclipse 8 from. As far as I know 3.5 is the most current version.
