The 'debian way' would be to put it in /usr/local and then to create an alternatives entry for it.
sudo update-alternatives --install java java /path/to/java 1 sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/java /usr/bin/java That way, if you were ever to apt-get install sun-java, it would just work, and you could easily change between the sun java packaged java or the binary installed one if you run into problems down the line. Note: you could even house it in your home dir, just put the proper path in the --install thing. That's what I do with azureus. Von Fugal
