Remove all versions of java.
Go here http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Install latest and greatest version.

Whenever updating java you must remove previous versions before install.

No. That is definitely not always necessary. And it is not even
possible if one actually needs multiple Java versions on ones
system (for other things than browser).

But usually a good idea because of security holes in the earlier versions.

Distinguish between the version of Java which is used by your browser, Web
Start, etc, to launch thrid-party supplied code, and the version/S/ of Java
which you have on your machine in order to test stuff. It's worthwhile keeping
the first of these up to date, but the others can be (and sometimes must be)
treated differently.

I currently have versions of 1.4.2 1.5 and 1.5 installed on this machine. I'll
have a version of BEA's JRockit too, if I ever get around to installing it.
