I would create a sym link in / that points to
/usr/java/WHATEVERVERSION like this:

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_08 /java

Then I would export the path

/java/bin as noted above.

Now whenever the java version changed rather than editing the profile
just relink the sym link in / to point to the new installation
directory in /usr and you are off.

I have been doing this for about 4 years.
