Ok.  I got the installer to run... it was looking
for /usr/lib/jvm/java-{version}/

If anyone else is trying to install sun java software (studio/netbeans,
etc),  the docs are a little sketchy... Also, Sun says it only has
tested this on windoze, solaris, and red hat.  If I get this running,
I'm going to send them the install log and ask them to add Ubuntu 6.10
to the mix...
