One way to install  j2re1.4 for testing/unstable version of mozilla  (ie. it is compilled with gcc > 2.95)
        
1) add into /etc/apt/sources.list:

     ##
     # blackdown java ... standard sources

     deb ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian/ unstable main non-free
     deb ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian/ testing main non-free

     ##
     deb http://jopa.studentenweb.org/debian ./
       
// the last one is non standard apt-src, but it works now 

2) apt-get update ...
3) apt-get install j2re1.4
4) apt-get install  j2sdk1.4    # if you need it
