I need Java5 (not 6), but Snow Leopard comes with only Java6.
There is /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5, but that just points to 1.6.0:
$ ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 24 20:12 1.3 -> 1.3.1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 21 07:35 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Sep 24 20:12 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Sep 24 20:12 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 24 20:12 1.6 -> 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 Sep 24 20:12 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 24 20:12 A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Sep 24 20:12 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Sep 24 20:12 CurrentJDK -> 1.6
Can I install the real 1.5 from somewhere?
