My guess is the Java 1.4.2 update is not recognizing 10.3.3 since it came out before the 10.3.3 update. How to solve that? Dunno... start over and install the Java update first. Submitting a bug report could probably get the attention of someone and get the current Java 1.4.2 update fixed to recognize 10.3.3. Or wait for someone at Apple to notice and fix it. The Java update is not critical and I don't think it had an serious security fixes so you probably could just wait until it gets fixed on Apple's side. That, of course, is assuming that the problem is with the update itself and not some odd configuration on your laptop. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :)
