That is simply wrong. Sun develops and maintains both Java 1.4.2 and 1.5
(5) in parallel. If you would look at java.sun.com you could quickly see
that. It is important to look at the number suffix: 1.4.2 is at _08 and
1.5 at Update 4. And www.jpackage.org offers src.rpm package for both
versions.

I don't really understand what confuses you. You may review Sun's page
and the jpackage.org page (non-free section!).
