I have SL 4.4 with Java 1.4.2 which I believe came installed directly. I've since updated the Java twice, most recently to 1.6.0 and that works fine with Firefox. 

However when I want to use a command line tool which relies on Java it picks up 1.4.2. The `which' command also picks up 1.4.2. The Java web pages give advice on how to remove Java when installed from rpm, but this doesn't seem to apply to 1.4.2. 

Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this ? I experimented a little with renaming what I thought were the key files for java 1.4.2 but didn't succeed. I also tried simply aliasing /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/bin/java to java, but this produced error messages. 

I'll be very grateful for help on this.
