kdebase gives you only the libraries needed to run KDE applications, plus
the panel and the window manager (and perhaps a few other very basic things)
so you can start "a desktop".
If you want applications like konqueror, kmail, konsole, games, system administration,
etc., you must install these explicitely.

Do you mean a java development kit (jdk) or a java runtime environment (jre)?
The jre is needed to make for instance konqueror run java applets off the
net.
You can find a gratis apt-getable jre at www.blackdown.com
