Wow, OK, that didn't take as long as I'd expected... although the answer isn't quite what I thought I was going to say.
Here's your ticket: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/151414/explain-the-jvm-directory- layout-on-mac-osx-leopard Using TextWranger, open ~/.profile and add: export JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ Versions/1.5.0/Home/" export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/:$PATH It may also work to use /Applications/Utilities/Java/{perhaps another folder here like J2SE 5}/Java Preferences and changing the VM order to have Java 5 at the top of the list. OTOH, if you don't have Java 5 on that machine at all, you're kinda screwed. But on my OSX 10.4.11 install I have JVMs going all the way back to Java 1.3.0, so you should have some sort of previous versions there. For more info, see here: http://number9.hellooperator.net/articles/2008/05/21/changing-the- default-jvm-on-osx-leopard Seriously, this info is sort of old, but I suspect that it should all work pretty close to the same on 10.5.
