    I have a PC with an AMD chip using Lenny (stable), amd64 port.

    When I try to run the weather bureau radar loop:

<http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=lwx&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes>

    I get an error message: "Java is necessary for radar looping and
    is best optimized using Java version 1.4.2 or higher." What
    packages should I install so I can use Java?


Actually, on the strength of some advice I received previously on this issue, I'd recommend that you try sun-java5-bin rather than *6*. Only because *5* seems to be more stable and plays more "nicely" with a wider range of apps that require Java.

Just my $0.02 worth.
