Another good site to check out installing java would be this one;
http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/DEV/Java+on+Debian
I used this guide on Sarge, even though it tells you to dist upgrade,
which some people might do, and end up with unstable. They make a
good point in remembering to use the documents, and dummy packages,
might be worth a check out.
As far as helping under KDE, if you make an icon you can choose the
application associated with that file. So every time you open the
file it will use that application. Check the control center see if
you can set it globally, if not then set it per application.
