this is what I do - remove old one and install new one. though to be on safe side i have a ;ink /usr/java pinting to the bin directory of whatever version i install. That way I provide this path to any software that relies upon java ( they always see /usr/java/bin ). Forexample I have used this technique with Oracle 9i tools.

Has anyone installed the latest and greatest JRE? I just did and found that the RPM package installed, I did an upgrade instead of an install, but I don't see any files for it and it didn't seem to upgrade anything. Should I blow the existing version away (1.4.2) and install 1.5 fresh?
