If you followed my advice in the past on getting Java 1.5 working on a Snow Leopard, then the new Apple update destroys that with the follow error for a Java 5 java -version:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib
Abort trap
I didn't track down the exact issue... however it is easy to detect that the Java update converts the symbolic links for Java 1.5 to point back to Java 6... Apparently Apple is NOT sorry for their crazy choice of ignorantly doing this in the first place. The solution is to completely go through the process out lined at OneSwarm again and re-establish the symbolic links. This will require you to delete the symbolic links that point to "CurrentJDK" for 1.4, 1.4.2, 1.5, and 1.5.0.
After edits an ls -l in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions should look like:
drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 510 Dec 5 22:18 .

BTW... it is worth mentioning this post to switch to soylatte: http://web.mac.com/jonathan.locke/iWeb/JonathanLocke/Blog/618DC316-674D-415B-9709-AA63AFC7ABD0.html
This seems to work on OS X Lion:
unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
