Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't j2se pretty old?

FWIW, here is what I do to get "java" working:

1 echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib
non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
2 sudo aptitude update
3 sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk

1 needs to be done as root
1 Sun's java is in non-free
3 in aptitude you can search for Sun's java with /^sun-java

HTH,
