jdk 6 on mountain lion (4)

I've just installed Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain LionI'm trying to install a JDK version 6There's no Mac package for version 6 on the Oracle downloads:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u37-downloads-1859587.html

But there is one for JDK version 7http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u9-downloads-1859576.html

Is there somewhere else I can get a Mac package for JDK 6?
