jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin (Works better as root)
Do this INSTEAD of running the .bin!!! This will create a deb. Would not let
me do it as root. Instead ran as a non-root user:
fakeroot make-jpkg ....
Got a lot of permission errors on various files already on the system but the
thing ran.

Add or modify any symlinks to the java, java-rmi.cgi, etc. to point to the new
jdk installed.
Modify references to the jdkhome such as in profile and Netbeans run scripts
if you are using that, etc, etc. A lot of steps but absolutely painless.
Thanks.
