does RHEL 5.3 not come with 1.4.2 ... assuming java sdk n jdk are the same.
incase it doesnt you can remove the version of java which comes with 5.3 and download a RPM or .bin file for that version from sun website and run it.
$ java -version
$ rpm -qa | grep java
sud give you the java package installed
$ rpm -e
$ ./jdk...bin

hope this helps

Java SDK = Java Software Development Kit.
JDK = Java Development Kit.
Both mean essentially the same thing, although Sun used different names in different major releases of Java.

When attempting to find Java SDK 1.4.2 on http://java.sun.com only this notice can be found:

-------
On October 30, 2008 J2SE 1.4.2 reached the end of its service life (EOSL). Customers interested in learning more about Sun's Java Technology Support and EOL policy: (link)

[Solaris-specific part omitted]

Customers interested in continuing to receive critical fixes, are encouraged to consider the following options:

* Migrate to Java SE for Business 1.4.2
* Migrate to the latest Java SE release

For developer needs, all products that have completed the EOL transition period, including the last Java SE release of 1.4.2, have been moved to the Archive area.
------

The Archive area is at:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/

Unfortunately, the latest freely-available version of Java 1.4.2 SDK is 1.4.2_19.

To get Java 1.4.2_22, you apparently have to get Java for Business... and Sun wants you to pay for it.

Shalom,

Sun Java is available for 64 bit Linux for 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 versions.

This requires a supported 64 bit Linux distribution be installed.
