The JDK 1.2 is horribly non-free. If your program depends on it, it will have 
to be in "contrib" instead of "main". For the sake of free software, I suggest 
that you try to see if your program works with Kaffe or can be compiled by 
jikes/gcj to native code.

Licensing problem, but also lack of interest, Debianers prefer free software.
