That's a path issue. You must also have the older version of java 
installed, and it appears earlier (or exclusively) in your path. At a 
shell prompt, type

which java

and you'll see where that version is (it'll be the first one that comes 
up, if more than one comes up). You can also type

echo $PATH

to see what directories are in your path. You can easily add the

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin

folder to your $PATH in your homedir/.bash_profile or in other ways, but 
you should also remove the older version of java so it doesn't get in 
the way.
