It is safer to use the 1.4 version for the java runtime. The database wizard generates errors with 5.0. I tested this on both Windows XP, and Linux. I thought that the Database wizard was still very very buggy, but when I changed the JRE to the previous version, then it stopped crashing on both operating systems.
