If Blackdown works for you, then I'd suggest sticking with it. I
personally manually install the latest JRE (well, JDK technically, with
the JRE included of course) from Sun but that's only because I develop
Java apps that generally need all the newest features now, so I have to
have the newest version of the JDK the day that it's available, not a
week or a month later.

But if you just need the JRE and Blackdown works, then by all means keep
using it. It's much simpler and much less prone to error than handling a
manual install each time a new version is released. :)
