Due to a bug (5042564) JDK 1.5.0 is not the default in
s10_58 (S10 beta4) because of a change in .order
1.5.0 is required to be the default in all S10 builds .

The .order file is generated by the buildtoc tool. The buildtoc command is run during the middle of the RE process for creating the netinstall and media images. RE cannot hand edit the .order file after the assembly of the images is finished.

Joe's fix would work, and is the solution with the least amount of change,
and would be preferable.
If Solaris RE cannot, for what ever reason, change the .order file,
an alternative is to integrate 1.4.2_0 b02, which no longer has the
install order bug.

This won't work because changing the .order file to install SUNWj3rt before
SUNWj5rt would require the SUNWj3rt package to be on the solaris_1 CD
and there simply isn't enough space available on the solaris_1 CD to put an 18MB
package that doesn't need to be there.
Can the SUNWj3rt package be fixed to check if SUNWj5rt is already installed, and
if so change the symlink back to make 1.5 the default java?
