Please post support inquiries about Debian at the mailing list. I didn't reply in this current thread, because it wasn't about Debian, nor was asked for this OS. You can install Java runtime on your Debian very easily by executing the following:

apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre

You already started a thread about Java at the Bifferboard mailing list and as suggested there, you can also try JamVM, which is a lighter Java runtime implementation, by executing:

apt-get install jamvm
