Maybe you can try putting this in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian unstable main non-free
Then run apt-get update && apt-get install j2re1.4 (or j2sdk1.4 if you
need the sdk)
Substitute unstable for stable in that line and j2re1.4 for j2re1.3, if
you run stable.
