At last, a technical question.
 Yes, it should continue to use 1.5.

In general, I think you have to explicitly ask for either 64-bit or Java 6.
When Leopard came out, there were a number of Info.plist keys that were
added to support options for running 64-bit.

At this point I was hoping to point to a URL for the release notes of Java
on Leopard where these new Info.plist keys were described, but it looks
like the just-release Update 1 overwrote it. In particular, there should
be two 10.5 Leopard release notes here:
<http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Java/index-date.html>

but there's only the one for Update 1 (i.e. Java 6).

Another possibility is that I'm misremembering where I read about the
Info.plist keys, and it wasn't in release notes at all. I hope someone can
correct me if I'm wrong, or the release notes if they're wrong.
