Surely just download the .bin file for 64-bit, than chmod a+x and ./filename.bin and run it?

Easier, it's in the non-free repositories (Debian FTW). You need to add non-free to your APT sources.list:

example only -

Code:

http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

and then install sun-java6-jre.

Cheers folks, the apt-get method worked a treat

Only issue i'm getting now is I can't find where the 64 bit jvm has installed

/usr/lib/java.***** etc?

You should find everything you need in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
