I'm searching for a way to download Java 5 for Mac OS 10.6. Where can I find this? Sun's site didn't have it for the Mac, and the Mac site only had it for older versions of OS X.

Thanks much.

I found this, http://chxor.chxo.com/post/183013153/installing-java-1-5-on-snow-leopard

Unfortunately Apple seems to hate Java, so they're never up-to-date with it...

Ironically, 10.6 ships with Java 6, making it closer to up-to-date than any previous version...

The strange thing is that they didn't include previous versions of Java

moreover the SUN "test your JVM" page (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000041300.xml) crashes every browser (firefox 3.0, safari) i tried under osx 10.6
