I am aware of the book The Java Virtual Machine Specification, and was hoping to find something more recent (ideally a specification that defines the bytecode for java 1.5).

JSR202 covers byte code for 1.5, but doesn't appear to have published 
anything yet, other than referencing JSR139 pre/split verification. I 
guess you could look at the source code to retroweaver 
(.sourceforge.net) which is under an Apache-like licence.
