Do this:
1. Download j2re from sun. Pick the "linux self-extracting file". Make it executable (chmod +x jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin) and run it.
2. It creates a directory (jre1.5.0_04)to the current one. Move this directory to, say, /usr/local/.
3. Create symlinks from the java dir (/usr/local/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7) to the mozilla plugin directory.

Download j2re from sun into your home directory Make it executable (chmod +x jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin) or right click properties, permissions click on "ls executable"

*as root

apt-get install java-package
