So download jre1.5.0_10 from sun.java.com and unpack it inside the path editcontext/jre/Linux/
and rename the old 1.1.8 jre inside that
then go to the bin directory inside the editcontext directory
open the file runWizard.sh

Syntax is
./editcontext
Before editing shutdown the application tier and after editing run autoconfig.sh to update the configuration files to reflect the new value.
