You really don't want to set 1.5 as your system JVM unless you're trying to fix ebuilds to work with 1.5. Jave 5 introduces new keywords (enum) and constructs (foreach loop, generics) that are not source compatible with previous releases and many packages will not compile with 1.5.
If you still really want to run 1.5 as the system JVM (or if you just want 1.5 for use by regular users), then this will tell you all you need to install the 1.5 JDK.

For some reason the blackdown and sun jre installs are missing some files that
java-setup expects to find. However I have found that sun-jdk does have those
files and therefore can be configured properly. I think the same may apply to
the blackdown jdk.
