Yea! Java works in Mozilla now.

I wound up copying the debs I needed down to my
hd, ran dpkg and installed them. Unfortunately,
there were dependencies, so running apt-get -f install
fixed those and now it all works. Then after I installed
blackdown java I found a blackdown mirror on ibiblio that
would have allowed me to apt-get it by adding a line to 
my sources file. :/

For anyone interested one of the below lines should do it:
