Is Java 5 actually a runtime environment like J2R? It it is, what am I getting that for? I need to get J2R working on another computer, do I really need another runtime environment for another run environ.?
On the pages I linked to there is a section near the bottom that says "Download sun-java5-jre". The table beneath has a column called Architecture. Click the all link and it shows the list of mirrors that have the deb file. Click one of them to download the file.

If you already have the JRE installed then skip that piece and download the dependencies that are listed on the Debian page. Those are the ones with the red dots.
