Thanks Conrad, Janne, and Tony!
I was missing the update-alternatives...
Now I have:
gymsmoke at croatus:~$ which java
/usr/bin/java
gymsmoke at croatus:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-02-10 03:15 /usr/bin/java
-> /etc/alternatives/java
gymsmoke at croatus:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
