 Hi and thanks to those who take the time to
 reply....
 
 I am running OS X 10.4.2
 
 java version "1.4.2_09"
 
 I wanted to switch to using 1.5 with netbeans 4.1. I
 noticed at java.com there is not a binary update.
 
 I did update to 1.5.0 via developer.apple.com
 According to apple this is not a replacement for JDK
 1.4.2. Why would I need the 1.4 version if I have
 downloaded the update? 
 
 Next, In school we are using 1.5 with netbeans 4.1
 on
 a windows environment. At home I have only OS X and
 Linux. My Instructor said using OS X in class is
 fine,
 but I am concerned about compatability issues (
 which
 using the scanner class in school forced me to>
upgrade
 to 1.5 at home) are then any I should be aware of? 

 Last but not least... 
 
 /usr/bin/java is 1.4.2 I would like to replace that
 with 1.5 I noticed it was a symlink and tried to
 rename java (1.4) to java_backup ( I was afraid to
 delete it ). Can i just delete the symlink with "rm
 /usr/bin/java"? Then symlink:
 

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/...java
 to /usr/bin/java
 
 or is there a better solution? I want netbeans to
 use
 1.5.0 on default which I have looked how to do but
 to
 no avail. 
 
 Is there an environment variable I can set in my
 .bashrc file like

JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
 
 that netbeans will use as default?
 
 Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
