Need Java 1.5 As Default

Simply relink "CurrentJDK" in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions to whatever version you need. Do not touch all the rest, /Library/Java/home will be properly linked automatically.

You can do this in the Terminal using

sudo rm -f CurrentJDK && sudo ln -s 1.5.0 CurrentJDK

Hi,

You can use "Java Preferences" in folder "Utilities -> Java -> J2SE 5.0" to set Java 1.5 as default.

hi,

I made a mistake. This is only for select Java 1.5 for using as default with navigator like safari.

Dear Friends,
I got the same problem and find as shown below, from VersioTracker the coments to change and get the 1.5 as default. But, how to do it? I cann't finde the .profile ou even the .bash_profile. I've tried by the Java Preference but it didn't work!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!!!

(1) Modifying your system environment variables for Java, so that the 1.5 command-line tools and applications are found first. You do this by modifying your .profile or .bash_profile and adding these two lines:

export JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home"
export PATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}"
