Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the
J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later.
This update does not change the default version of Java on your Mac
from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE
5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java
version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences
utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/.
