Okay, I admit that I only skimmed TFA, but what's wrong with the "sun-java5-jdk" package? It shows up in my install of Dapper. Or even going to java.sun.com, if you want Sun's java?

Also, just for the java plugins, Dapper includes both gcjwebplugin and sun-java5-plugin, though they're in universe and multiverse respectively.

"sun-java5-jdk" is in multiverse. Multiverse is not enabled by default and the interface in synaptic will only enable universe, no multiverse. To make multiverse packages available you need to go and edit sources.list either through the synaptic interface or directly.

The runtime is also in multiverse, and the author seemed to find that OK.

Applications->Add/Remove, check the appropriate checkboxes, search for java.
