  Yes. Sun's latest release is 1.5.0. But Apple's is 1.4.2 Update 2,
  and the Java Embedding Plugin can only support versions that Apple has
  released.
  
  Apple licensed Sun's JVM, but has also done substantial customization.
  The result is a very fast, pretty and well integrated JVM ... but it's
  often a version or two behind Sun's. My understanding is that Apple
  will only do a Java 1.5.0 release on "Tiger" -- the upcoming version
  of OS X. But I don't know if Apple has made this official. For more
  information see the following URLs:
