Sun's Java is not part of Debian. You can get .debs for it from Blackdown,
<http://www.blackdown.org/> Tomcat is part of Debian.

The .jigdo files contain a compressed list of packages for the respective
CD/DVD image. You can look at it with "zless" under Unix, under Windows try
giving it a .gz extension.

The CDs/DVDs contain the complete set of packages, except for the stuff in
the non-free section, which is not very interesting these days IMHO. The
exact number of packages depends on the distribution (stable/testing/
unstable).
