For Sun's JVM?  Not going to happen, it's too non-Free.

This is a known issue with Sun and Blackdown's Java; basically, they
screwed up and the system won't work on libc >= 2.3, and 2.3.1 is in
sid.  Blackdown has put up fixed packages for both JDK 1.3 and 1.4, so
you'll have to go download the whole thing again.

Anyhow, once you've got the working Java, it should all just work.
