Hint: Java 1.5 is going EOL at October 30th! So Freenet should at least after that date default to Java 6. Additionally has the OpenJDK being tested already? One of the problems Adam talks about is related to the way how the Sun Java is installed by default on Windows I think. If you just click through it will create a completely new Installation in a separate Folder instead of "updating" the installed one. So if Freenet starts up the first time before the "update" it will have the Folder of the old version (and I bet that folder is just being used after a restart of Freenet). So if there is a problem related to the Java version supposed to be used it could make sense to present a dialog to the user explaining the warning and giving him/her the opportunity to browse for another Java installation. Most Linux distros (at least debian-based ones) don't have such problems because they use symlinks to always point to the latest version of all installed Java 6, 1.5, 1.4, ... like this: lrwxrwxrwx /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java lrwxrwxrwx /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java lrwxrwxrwx java-1.5.0-sun -> java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.19 drwxr-xr-x java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.19 lrwxrwxrwx java-6-sun -> java-6-sun-1.6.0.16 drwxr-xr-x java-6-sun-1.6.0.15 drwxr-xr-x java-6-sun-1.6.0.16 And ^^ here you see although I update every day my Ubuntu installation has already abandoned Java 1.5.
