That's not what the message says. It says that he has Java 6 and
doesn't even mention a JDK. It also doesn't actually say that he has
a problem, only that the applet's requirement turns him off, an
emotional response.
I read it differently: that the applet issues the error message "Sorry, you
need Java 1.5+ to run this Applet", but this makes no sense to Lars because
he has Java 1.6.
That's how I read it, too, although both of us had to infer to make that
interpretation. Especially because that objection doesn't make sense.
According to that interpretation, Lars's system meets the requirement.
Leaving the question, "Why is that a problem?"
