When installed, Sextante will use the same JRE as gvSIG uses.
But during installation, you are choosing the JRE to use. In this case, 
as you write the command "$ java -jar sextante.jar", it will use the 
first "java" executable found in the PATH, which in your case seems to 
be 1.4.2 version.

To solve it, you should use the full path to the gvSIG own java 
platform. It should be something like:
$HOME/gvSIG/JRE/1.5.xx/bin/java -jar sextante.jar
(sorry, I don't rememeber the exact PATH, have a look to your 
$HOME/gvSIG directory).

Regards,
