Due to licensing issues, Oracle Java cannot be redistributed 
in binary form. There is an openjava implimentation, but there 
are still some limitations which must be overcome. In the meantime, 
if you wish to have Java and the browser plugin, you have to 
download the compressed binary from Oracle at: 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html 

On the page look for: 
Java Platform, Standard Edition 
then click the button for JRE -> Download 
Check if you agree to their license agreement, then 
Download the jre-*.tar.gz file to 
/usr/src/java 

Then run the java installer again.
