Installing java for casual java developers has always been something of a minefield. Do we need SE or EE edition for say STS/Grails, do we need the SDK or JDK? I am pretty sure I need the JDK 1.7 for EE edition.
The question is, how do I get the JDK without the bloated SDK? My understanding of the SDK it that its additional tools such as glassfish, something I have no need for. Space on my SSD is a premium. The oracle EE download page: only seems to allow you to download the JDK AND SDK, is there any way to install just the JDK?
I already have the 64 bit JDK installed, but sadly, STS only works with 32 bit (on windows). Will these conflict when I install both?

I tried a whole bunch of JDK 6 too, same result. I also tried in incognito, same result. Any tips on getting the older JDKs?
Edit: Thanks for all the responses. I don't know how I missed this. For some context, I've been a Java dev for the same company for 6+ years, and looking back, I guess I never directly downloaded the JDKs. Just started a new job and have a fresh computer, so was trying to download and was baffled by the sign-in page. Go ahead and downvote me to oblivion for my boneheaded ostrich moment:(.
