Easier... add blackdown to your sources (I'm using
ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian/). afaict (and I've been using it sincy I
first installed warty), it works fine without causing any problems.
You _might_ be able to get by with kaffe, but it doesn't work for one
application I _have_ to have, so it's moot.
