1.
Run java -version on the commandline to see which version of Java is
used by default. If it's 1.4 (which was the default on OS X 10.4) you
there is some parameter that you can set in eclipse.ini to select the
correct Java version (you need at least 1.5).

2. Everything Java related on OSX can be found in /Library/Java

The default Java version on a fresh Leopard install is
1.5.0_13. On OSX 10.4.11, Apple updates also bring it to
1.5.0_13.

I was able to install Eclipse 3.4M4 on a Leopard machine,
including subclipse, and try it out briefly; it seemed to
work OK for editing and compilation but I didn't know what
to test to see if the "crashing problems" had been cured.

Sounds like you are trying to import a jar created with Java 1.6. You
need to get a version of the jar file that was compiled with 1.5 or
earlier.

More specifically, you need to recompile all classes in your jar file
(prior to import) with the javac "-target 1.5" option. This will create
Java 1.5 class files.
