try

Code:

sh name.of.file

Code:

./name.of.file

once you've done

Code:

cd name.of.directory.the.file.is.in

Code:

su

Password:

chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_<version>-linux-i586.bin

cd /path/to/java/bin/file/

./j2re-1_4_2_<version>-linux-i586.bin

This will do the following:
-become root;
-set execute permissions on the binary file;
-go to the directory where the binary file is;
-run the binary installer.

Check out the installation instructions from the Java homepage:
Java 2 Runtime Environment
Java 2 SDK

Good luck!
