What doesn't work? I've been using 1.5 since last year. The only thing I can think of is the compiler throwing warnings for using deprecated container classes, which is an easy problem to fix.

It is well known that the 1.5 JDK is not the current norm

The current norm for what? Several of the projects I've worked on in the past year have been specifically developed for 1.5.
Personally, I'd use 1.5 and correct any problems. However, if you don't want to do that, just install 1.4.2_08. I've had no problems installing any version from 1.1 to 1.5.
