There's a simpler way: Open Synaptic (I believe it's installed by default with Debian), go to "Settings" -> "Repositories". Go through each of the lines, and in the "Sections" input box at the bottom add the string "non-free" (sans the quotes, with a space as delimiter) if it's not already there. Click OK, and return to the main window.
Back in the main window, click on "Reload" and wait. When it's finished, click on "Search" and search for "sun-java6-jre". Right-click on the package, select "Mark for installation", click apply, and wait (again).
The big advantage of Linux systems vs. Windows is the centrally available management of all software for the system, including security updates and the likes. Usually there's no need to manually download something.

SYNOPSIS

build-jar-repository

DESCRIPTION
The JPackage Project has two primary goals:
- To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications.
- To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation.
We focus on free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted
source code.
Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format
suggestions are welcome too.
