I suggest to use "j2sdk1.3 | j2re1.3 | java-vitual-machine-dummy".

This way, a user can install Sun's or IBM's JDK to /usr/local and install
your package without breaking its dependencies. You could test if the
JVM is Java 2 (either "java -version" or looking for
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar) and print an error message if it's just JDK1.1.
