How can I download Java SE 1.5 for Mac OS 10.6

I'm searching for a way to download Java 5 for Mac OS 10.6. Where can I find this? Sun's site didn't have it for the Mac, and the Mac site only had it for older versions of OS X.

Thanks much.

Try the below steps:

Go to Finder->Utilities->Java and open Java Preferences and select the preferred version.

  1. Open terminal and go to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
  2. Type ls -l to list all available Java versions
  3. Enter sudo ln -fhsv CurrentJDK

I found this, http://chxor.chxo.com/post/183013153/installing-java-1-5-on-snow-leopard

Unfortunately Apple seems to hate Java, so they're never up-to-date with it...
