Java on Debian

Having just installed Sarge on my laptop, I tried downloading and installing 
the Sun J2SE (from Sun - I didn't see it - or expect to see it! - in apt). 
Unfortunately, it wouldn't install because of a missing library.

I *KNOW* there are many people writing Java on Debian. What tool do you use. 
If Sun (what I'd prefer) what's the magic to getting it to install?
