I can't fully test my hypothesis since I'm running Feisty, but in
Feisty using Java 6 the CLI command "java" isn't in a standard place
for the system to see it... so maybe you have *both* 1.5 and 1.4
installed, but Java 5 doesn't have a "java" binary in the right place?

On my system, if I go to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin and from
Terminal run "./java -version", the output is:

java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

Do you maybe have a similar directory with a "java" executable?
