My preferred way:
- Download JVM from sun (.tar.gz package)
- Unzip it in /usr/java (You get then /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05)
- Create a small script called java-export.sh with:
   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05
   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
- In your shell (or add it in .bashrc) type:
   source java-export.sh
- Type: java -version
    To check that you have version 1.5.0_05 running
- Run your software and that's all!

Bye.
