As suggested, install "javapackage" and then from java.sun.com download 
"jre-6u2-linux-amd64.bin". Then just issue:

$ make-jpkg jre-6u2-linux-amd64.bin

and wait for the .deb to be created. At this point:

jack@vasquez:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.6_1.6.0+update2_amd64.deb

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-07-17 07:24 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/
lib/j2re1.6-sun/bin/java

There you go :)
