Since I'm using SGE I (think I) need the closed source SUN java version.
Download (and click on the license agreement) here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u32-downloads-1594644.html
(v7u4 is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html
)
Then follow this: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/installing-sunoracle-java-in-debian.html
sudo apt-get install java-package
make-jpkg jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin
and follow the instructions. Once the package is built, install:
sudo dpkg -i oracle-j2sdk1.6_1.6.0+update32_amd64.deb
