Marc,

I may be wrong, but I suspect that this is a path order issue. The 1.4.2 
rpm puts  a java startup script in  /usr/bin, and this is symlinked to 
/etc/alternatives/java. I suspect that /usr/bin/java is earlier on the 
PATH than the entry in your .bash_profile. Try changing the link in 
/etc/alternatives to point to your 1.5.0/bin/java location.
 
I hope that this makes sense.

Regards,

Peter
