Alternatively, you can try:

svn co http://www.gnusolaris.org/svn/gnusolaris1/sunwjdk1.5
cd sunwjdk1.5/trunk
<put your downloaded binaries here>
dpkg-buildpackage

The above sequence will create sunwjre1.5_1.5.0.6-1_solaris-i386.deb
which you could install with  "dpkg -i" command later.

remember, you will need nevada-compat package installed first or use
method described above.
