It's always been pretty straightforward for me -

Install the sun jvm, then make sure the java command is in the path for 
all users, e.g. by suitably editing /etc/profile

For web stuff, just make the symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins from 
the <pathname>/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
