As I already explained, anyone can install 1.5, and there's no problem with that. When you do, 1.4.2 will remain the default, and through the Java Preferences application, you can make some LIMITED changes so that 1.5 will be used with SOME apps. Going beyond that and making even more changes, or altering your system in any sort of permanent manner is only for ADVANCED users, period. It's not documented because Apple doesn't want you to do it. Just because something can be done doesn't mean that it's something that everytone should do. If you don't grasp my original post, then LEAVE IT ALONE. It wasn't intended for you in the first place.
