Putting the binaries into my path.
Ok, I got the runtime environment extracted from the tar.gz file. The thing works fine (too bad it uses so much memory) but I need to type ./j2se1.3.0/bin/java or whatever to run the thing. I tried copying the bin folder into my /usr/bin and the lib folder into my /usr/lib but that didn't do much. How might I accomplish this?

Either put your JAVA_HOME in the path (set PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME)
or generate a symbolic link in your /usr/bin directory (ln -s $JAVA_HOME/bin/java java).
You can also use $JAVA_HOME/bin/.java_wrapper instead of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java and map directly to the java startscript. When you look into your $JAVA_HOME/bin directory you will see, that java is already a symbolic link to .java_wrapper.
