Apple releases Java 2 SE 5.0R4 for PowerPC and Intel-based Macs
Apple has released a new edition of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 -- 5.0R4 -- which allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.5 and later.
The new release sports improved reliability and compatibility for Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 on Mac OS X v10.4.5 and later. This release includes J2SE version 1.5.0_06. With this update J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Java 1.4.2 is still installed on your machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2.
