That's true.

But what intrigues me is the fact that both 'java' and 'javac' should
use the same logic to pick a JDK (afterall they are both symlinks of
the same 'javavm' file). Hence whichever JDK is chosen, 'javac -version'
and 'java -version' would output the same version number...

I'll try to see if I can reproduce the same error as you Jiawey, once
the java/jdk15 build is done on my box (if I don't lack free HD space
until then).

But in the mean time, here are my quick two cents:

Is it possible that you use an alias javac->jikes with some
JIKES_BOOTCLASSPATH (or equivalent) set to /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/...

Jiawei, could you try running the same commands but undefining JAVA_*
beforehand (and just with JAVA_VERSION=1.5 as suggested by Jonathan)?
