The way I do it is to start Mozilla as root and go to
http://java.sun.com, this will spawn the java plugin installer.
Follow the instructions to download and install. It will install
java into the /usr/lib/mozilla directory. When done, close
Mozilla and leave root, then start it again as a regular user.
That should do it.
Otherwise, use the Blackdown java as describe elsewhere in this
thread, although I've not yet used it I understand it works
nicely.
