There are linux .tar of JDK, but as Shao said I would use .debs until you get familiar with debian. I'm attempting to use JDK2 myself from the Solaris .tar, but it has been as easy as I thought it would be. But, JDK1.1 run fine either as the .deb or the .tar.
Be sure to check out blackdown, there is lots of stuff that I got there for java that run fine on Debian.
