You can either depend on only j2sdk1.4 or check the ibm variant. I
assume that your package is not built primary by java classes so the
java policy is not very suitable.

On the other hand some java/non-free issues applies here. The problem
is that if you build-depend on j2sdk it will never be put into testing.
The reason is that the autobuilders can not fullfill that dependency.

Was this help enough?
