Installing a JRE plug-in

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Dear each

Iceweasel is telling me that I have a missing plugin, the JRE, which I 
need for a course. I have downloaded jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin (which is 
the appropriate plug-in), but:
(i) is this the best thing to be using on a Lenny/Sid system and
(ii) if so, how do I go about installing a *.bin file on my system?

Many thanks

A
