How to install two versions of Java using RPMs and have each of them co-exist??

[kitkit201]

Currently we are running Java 1.42 using RPM on our SUSE box..

I would like to install Java 1.50 on it to use the Java 5 features, BUT also keep java 1.42 on because some of our scripts we run require 1.42 ..

I want to leave /usr/bin/java (currently 1.42) under this directory, and install /usr/bin/java1.5 for version 1.5.. how can I achieve this?

thanks in advance
