Is it possible to update Java7 without first uninstalling Java8? On my MacBook I've got Java 6 through 8 installed and I happen to need and use them all on a daily basis. Lately it has been bothering me that every time I want to install an update to Java7 I need to first uninstall Java8.

So my question is: is it possible to update an older release of Java (1.7) without having to uninstall the newer one (1.8)?

Trying to run the update without first removing Java 1.8 notifies me that:

You are trying to install Java 7 Update 67,
however Java 8 Update 05 is already installed.
Visit java.com/newerversionexists for more information.


And the link points to a page that doesn't even exist at the moment.
With Mac OS X 10.10 and the most recent JDK versions (7.72 and 8.25) the problem seems to have been fixed.
