Debian (and many others for that matter) can not distribute Sun's Java
because of Sun's licenses, which, for start, do not meet the Debian
Free Software Guidelines. This is a problem since Java is such a
widely used Internet language. There is a concerted effort to rectify
this problem with a free Java implementation. However, you can install
java-package
to do the hard work for you, or else manually
install the Sun Java software development kit yourself, as long as you
are happy to accept the Sun Java license. Alternatively, install one
of the alternatives like kaffe.
