Apps :: How do I install Java?

You've made a typo there - it's 586, not 583. It should work then. Or you could just type: "chmod +x j2re*"

Wow, I feel pretty dumb. But now I have another question, sorry. I have it unpacked, but now how do I get it to actually work? I can't see it on mozilla, and when I tried to install something that required Java, it said that no Java Virtual Machine could be found in your path environment variable.
Thanks for all of your help so far though.

Check http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html
And when you get it to work, would you provide instructions to the group listing all the steps in one place?

I already tried the instructions that they gave, but it didn't work.

I tried to link the plugin in the java dir, but when I put in my Mozilla plugin dir, whenever I go to a site that uses java, my browser dies. It just disappears. What is happening here?
