      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:
