Hi there,

Java was a binary package so we cannot know for sure what they change between a 
version and another one but, in the interest of SUN and the Java platform, 
minor version are always binary compatible.
It's usually safe to upgrade from 1.5.0_08 to whatever else 1.5.0_xx and the 
same applies for 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.6.0.
I also know that these packages live in Universe and support is limited but, 
specially for applet, this is a vital component for system security: I would 
suggest an upgrade of packages both for Edgy and Feisty.

Many thanks for your attention
Bye
Piero
