upgrading the version of JAVA in solaris

Hi there

I have been tasked with upgrading java on one of our boxes to version
6.0 or later (package version 1.5 or later someone told me). but ive
been trying to find the SUNW package for this and cant see it, so I
checked pkginfo for installed package and there isnt one ....even though
java is installed eg

[root@server] # java -version
java version "1.3.1_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_10-b03, mixed mode)


But, no package installed.....

[root@server] # pkginfo | grep -i jav
[root@server] #


Does anybody know how I go about upgrading this? and do i need to
uninstall the old one before installing the new ?? Somebody mentioned to
me that I should never uninstall the version that comes with the OS
because of its interoperability with core system processes

In which case what can I do here ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Gary
