On my Mac mini under OS X 10.6.5, a java -version gives me Java 1.6.0_22.

It's an out of box + upgrade from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 and installation of last Xcode 3.

Did you perform optional updates, or is it default install? – michelemarcon Jan 4 '11 at 16:12

Snow Leopard comes with Java 6, Leopard is J2SE 5. Just see any Java update support article for OS X 10.6 and there will be mention of Java SE 6 see here.
