Java

[Philip Axer]

Hi,
I did this which works perfekt for me.
http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/3036/Wie-installiere-ich-Java.html

Because it's in german I'm translating the major steps:

1) Install  fakeroot java-package java-common
sudo apt-get install fakeroot java-package java-common

2) I don't know exactly what this does but my interpretation is that the bin 
file is extracted and a debian packet will be created.
fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin

3) Install the built packet
sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update05_i386.deb

4) To get firefox support make a symbolic link (I didn't try this one)
sudo ln 
-s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
