    Fusion comes bundles with 1.4.

    You need to have 1.6 installed and choose to use it as an external JRE.

    Welcome to the wacky world of Java product names/versions. As mentioned,
    6 (update 18) (note, strictly speaking not 1.6) is the latest JRE; if in
    doubt, go to www.java.com and follow the 'Free Java Download' link,
    that's always the latest.

    To get an idea of how the versions / naming have changed over the years,
    have a look at the archive:

    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/

    You'll see the JDK / JRE versions went from 1.1 to 1.4, then just became
    '5', and now '6'. Luckily for us we're normally only interested in the
    JRE, so we don't have to worry about all the other versions etc!
