Isn't this what blackdown from apt-get.org does?  When I want to install 
java via debs, that's what I do.  It doesn't automatically set up 
CLASSPATH, I use this script:

source /usr/share/doc/java-common/examples/classpath-from-jars-1
export CLASSPATH
clear
echo $CLASSPATH
bash

It makes Java work for the Eclipse IDE, and for things like Tomcat.  
I've never tried to make Java work for things like Mozilla, I don't care 
to do that.


I build MPlayer from source; the source is already debianized.
