I don't understand what you wanna do exactly with java? Just run
programs and applets? Write programs?

you can try
$ java -jar yourjarfile.jar
but program usually comes with README file. Maybe you'll have a script
to launch the program, maybe you'll have to setup a classpath to launch
the program...
About applet, I think blackdown 1.4 debian package should do it
fine. You can also try gcjwebplugin but it's not complete yet (and make
mozilla crash when I view an applet -- I have to complain to Michael
Koch!)
Cheers ;-)
