This is a recipe from the grml team at Tugraz University, Austria
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=tips&s=java#grml_and_java

Just get the j2re.bin-file from
http://developers.sun.com/downloads/top.jsp and then run:

sudo apt-get install java-package
fakeroot make-jpkg j2re-*.bin
sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re*.deb
update-alternatives --config java

(Now that Oracle have bought out Sun they are moving software away
from open source to proprietary where they can. It makes me very
uneasy about using Sun Java any more. Openjdk-6-jre may be the one for
me in the future. It is already part of the default jre on Ubuntu.)
