Hi Sandip,
Just a few minutes ago I posted my variations on Nate's instructions.
My differences involved using Debs for the Java. This, along with the
file locations I used may be just what you want. Here, are Nate's steps
with my diffs.

in /usr/local/bin/phoenix.d/

I used the Blackdown Debs (j2se1.3) These are my sources as added to
/etc/apt/sources.list
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \
testing non-free
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \
testing main

The Debs took care of location /usr/bin/java

Try it. Maybe this will work for you.
