How do I change the Java version BlueJ uses?

843810Apr 25 2008 — edited Apr 25 2008
I was recently messing around with tables and found that one of the classes I wanted was introduced in Java 6. I'm on a Mac and was under the impression that I already had it, but I downloaded it again anyway from Apple Developer Connection.

I use BlueJ for my Java needs and when I went to try it out it was still using version 5. So, I searched the internet for help and I found instructions that told me to use a utility called Java Preferences to change the version. I followed the instructions but got a massive warning that said that BlueJ couldn't construct a virtual machine.

So, my question is, how do I change the version of Java that BlueJ uses on the Mac?
