No because javavm will automatically detect the most appropriate
one... also all three above are linked to
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/bin/java I think... now a side issue is
under some configurations diablo doesn't work for any gui app (non-www
based) so you may want to update to jdk-16 or linux-sun-jdk16
