No.  Just follow the instructions at:
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java15
and you'll end with a package named something like:
        sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update03_i386.deb
(the above is the package I ended up with).

Install that package and it should work with all your Java™ needs
(including developing Java applications).

(You might need to install the Java plug-in for Firefox manually.)
If that didn't work, just re-post here.
