When was this update pushed?
Because I haven't applied the java update in a while, just because of 
the problems some updates have caused for many java applications.
I still have this appearing regularly in the software update:

"Mise à jour 8 de Java pour Mac OS X 10.5 améliore la compatibilité, la 
sécurité et la fiabilité en mettant à jour J2SE 5.0 avec la version 
1.5.0_26 et Java SE 6 avec la version 1.6.0_22 pour les ordinateurs Mac 
à processeurs Intel 64 bits. La mise à jour de J2SE 1.4.2 n’est plus 
effectuée pour corriger les bugs ou les problèmes de sécurité et est 
désactivée par défaut dans cette mise à jour."
