You can write a Java program that does the same thing. It just has to be
written to the J2SE 1.3 API.
You can even use this 1.3-compatible checker as the main entry-point of the
1.5-only app. If the checker sees it's on a 5.0-capable JVM
("java.version" property), it simply runs the normal main(String[]) method
of the 5.0 program. Otherwise it puts up an alert, jframe, or whatever
that tells the user the problem and any possible remedies.

A 1.3-compatible entry-point would run fine on pre-10.4 OSes.
