Thanks for the reply. I have managed to fix the problem. My JRE_HOME was
pointing to Java 1.5, but my CLASSPATH was pointing to Java 1.6. And I
couldn't get PL/Java 1.4 to install using Java 1.6.

Actually there was a further twist involving the ERP application
Adempiere-3.4.2-s I was trying to install: it apparently won't run with Java
1.5, only with Java 1.6!

So I had to use Java 1.5 to install PL/Java, and then Java 1.6 to run the
application Adempiere-3.4-2-s.

(I can't wait till deployment dependencies for big Java projects such as
Adempiere ERP are always routinely encoded in an executable Maven POM file
rather than scattered across the internet in how-to's and forums... but
that's off-topic. :-)
