My Mac OS X allows me to choose among J2SE 1.4.2 32bit, J2SE 5 32bit, J2SE 5 64 bit and Java SE 6 64bit but it doesn't include the Java SE 6 32bit: does anybody know how can I install this version, too?

A:
Apple doesn't support 32-bit Java SE 6, but you might look at SoyLatte.
Addendum: You might experiment with the java -d32 option.
-d32, -d64
Specifies whether the program is to be run in a 32-bit or 64-bit environment if available.
Currently, only the Java HotSpot Server VM supports 64-bit oper- ations and the -server option is implicit with the use of -d64 . This is subject to change in a future release.
If neither -d32 nor -d64 is specified, the default is to run in a 32-bit environment, except for 64-bit only systems. This is subject to change in a future release.

No, it's not like this, SnowLeopard actually includes the Java SE6 32 bit (besides the other version I also have)...

Interesting. I was referring to Mac OS X 10.5.8, mentioned in your title.

Under 10.6 the -d32 switch selects a 32 bit client jvm. -d64 selects a 64 bit server jvm.
