Hello Jody,

For Java 5 on OSX what I've done previously is downloaded a developer
update package for OSX 10.5 from http://connect.apple.com and then
used Pacifist to extract the Java 5 components. A page describing the
steps is here:

http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100123192950640

At other times, when too lazy for the above, I've used time machine
backups to re-install Java 5 after an apple update for OSX 10.6 has
removed it.

I'm not sure if this is still going to work with OSX 10.7. Also,
Apple's new, more convoluted system locations for Java components
(developer updates going into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ while
system updates, including stripped down JDK go into
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk) has already made
it all more fiddly.
