Well, I've just installed J2SDK1.4 (yeah I know it's not the latest
one ...). 
I'm in Warty.

What I've done is to fetch three packages from sid (I've just downloaded
them via packages.debian.org, I didn't add a line in the sources.list
file) :
- java-common
- sun-j2sdk1.4debian (it's sun-j2sdk1.5debian for you)
- java-package

I've installed them, downloaded the j2sdk .bin file from java.sun.com
and created the package with make-jpkg.

Works fine.

Note : I don't know if this is the right way since I've installed
Debian/Sid packages on Warty. Maybe I'll get some problems later, maybe
not. Time will tell ;)

If someone has another way to do it ...

Regards,
Bruno.
