No, the links should not point to 1.4 binaries. They should all point to
/usr/local/bin/javavm. Actually this is a feature provided by
javavmwrapper. See javavm(1) for further information.

If you want to be able to use Java 1.5 via /usr/local/bin/java, you may
either:

Set JAVA_HOME to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0:

  $ JAVA_HOME=/usrl/local/jdk1.5.0 java -version

  java version "1.5.0-p2"

Or unset JAVA_HOME and set JAVA_VERSION to 1.5:

  $ unset JAVA_HOME ; JAVA_VERSION=1.5 java -version

  java version "1.5.0-p2"

If you want 1.5 to become the default JDK for all users in the system,
just set this in /etc/make.conf:

  JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS=	JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_5
