I've more or less given up trying to install several different versions 
of Java in the same general location. The way I've found to use 
different versions on the same machine is to install the required 
version in local userspace. I have only tried this on *nix based 
systems, no idea if it's possible on Windows.

This way you can configure your PATH, JAVA_HOME and anything else you 
need in your account specific .bashrc or whatever.

I have various versions from 1.4 on installed in various different 
accounts and all I have to do is log into the required account and away 
you go. No conflicts, no surprises and no problems ... so far.
