Use Java 1.5 on 10.3
Authored by: jasenko on May 10, '05 07:41:03PM

I also had to change the links to make Java 1.5 work in Tiger. Note that you have to change both links (Current and CurrentJDK) for stuff to work.
At the moment, everything is running smoothly, all applications that require 1.5 are happy. Here are the instructions for those who need them:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

sudo mv Current Current.old
sudo ln -s 1.5 Current

sudo mv CurrentJDK CurrentJDK.old
sudo ln -s 1.5 CurrentJDK

I can't see that this should not work in Panther, but maybe some pointers to some libraries are changed and that is the reason. It's easy to go back if you want to anyway.
