Can you post an error message or something?

The brief page I read tells me the installer is a shell-script (a .command
file), so maybe there's something in that which can be edited to accept
J2SE 5 R4.

I meant the OS Archive and Install from CD/DVD.

You have to remove the receipt in /Library/Receipts.  It will be a bundle
or package with the Installer icon.

However, simply removing the receipt and overwriting the current install
isn't guaranteed to work.  You're trading some safety for expedience:
