Grzegorz Prokopski has created a debian-metapackage called free-java-sdk
in an attempt to bundle various OSS java tools, libs and docs to create a
free java SE in so far it's possible to find OSS-equivalents of the Sun
java SE parts.
There are no other versions available directly that I know of. There were,
at one time, a few installer-packages, but I don't know if they're still
working or even relevant.

AFAIK only the blackdown version through their mirrors. There are scripts
that can help install various other versions ie IBM's, Sun's, and other's.
Check the archives for those.

This is probably more arch-dependant a question.
i386 has most, if not all of them. Sparc and PPC follow somewhat closely.
The rest is, I'm afraid, mostly depending on OSS-versions.

Dunno. Haven't worked with it (yet).
