You can add the non-free repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list and
then run:
aptitude update
aptitude install sun-java5-jdk

All this needs to be done as root.  Reply back to this list if you
have trouble with these steps, and someone will provide more details.

PS: Just an idle question of mine, what's linux 9.0?  The current
version of debian is 4.0 (etch) and the kernel is 2.6.
