Installing Sun's Java on Hoary:

Download Sun's JDK (.bin format) from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Choose either the JDK or
JRE link. Execute these commands (assuming you downloaded the file
'jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin'):

% sudo apt-get install java-package fakeroot
% fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin
% sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update02_i386.deb

this also works for update 3
