How to download Java SE 1.5 for Mac OS 10.6

I am looking for a way to download Java 5 for Mac OS 10.6. Where can i find this? The Sun site did not have it for the Mac, and on the Mac site it was only for older versions of OS X.

Many thanks.

Unfortunately, Apple seems to hate Java, so they never updated with it ...

Try the following steps:

Go to Finder-> Utilities-> Java and open "Java Settings" and select your preferred version.

  • Open a terminal and go to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
  • Type ls -l to display all available versions of Java.
  • Type sudo ln -fhsv CurrentJDK

In addition, the SUN page "test your JVM" ( http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000041300.xml ) resets every browser (firefox 3.0, safari) that I tried under osx 10.6
