as i like to use blackdown java, i give you this url:
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.3.1/i386/FCS/
here you can download j2re or j2sdk
j2re is a runtime environment
j2sdk includes development kit
the way to install is really easy.
after downloading the tar.bz2 file, as root, move it in /opt, then
tar xvfj j2sdk_or_j2re.tar.bz2
a j2sdk or j2re directory is now created in /opt and that's all what you need 
to install. no ./configure, make, make install.
now add the path to the java exec in PATH. it could be 
/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin or /opt/j2re1.3.1/bin. several ways to do that. for 
exemple, for a single user, add theese lines in ~/.bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin
export PATH
then verify if it's good:
$ which java  #answer to this command must be:
/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin/java
now you can type java at command prompt and most apps using java can run with 
that. some needs to set a special ENV like JAVAHOME, but you can know which 
by reading the README or INSTALL files for thoose apps.
