Hi,

You can install jdk 1.4 and jdk 1.5 side by side on the same machine.
After installing 1.5, make sure that your general environment var's include a JAVA_HOME that points to the 1.4 installation (so your other apps keep working)

In the alfresco startup script you can add a line to set the correct java home. This JAVA_HOME will then be used exclusively for tomcat/alfresco.

If you're using windows: in alfresco.bat, add a line at the beginning of the file:

set JAVA_HOME=<your jdk5 dir>‍

If you're using linux: in alfresco.sh, add a line at the beginning of the file:

export JAVA_HOME=<your jdk5 dir>‍

cheers,
Roeland
