How did you determine that?

You should have several versions of Java installed. To determine the 
default version, in Terminal, do

% java -version

The previous versions are for backwards compatibility. Some Java apps 
may require a specific version of Java. Could this be what you are 
seeing?

See <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25408>. Although 
it's for Jaguar, the basic idea applies to Panther as well.
