Developer 6.0 has entered the museum many years ago. If you want current software download Oracle 10g XE from http://otn.oracle.com (150 Mb dowload). There is still a thing called Internet Developer Suite, but in your suite that is probably overkill.
XE comes with various new developer tools, Oracle is going to move to anyway.
