Sun Java is now a package in non-free. Either install the Java development kit:
#apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
or the Java runtime environment
#apt-get install sun-java6-jre
For Etch you will find Java 5 instead:
#apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
or the Java runtime environment
#apt-get install sun-java5-jre
Sun recommends you update the alternatives system to have Sun's tools as the default:
#update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
Or for java 5:
#update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

- The To-Do List
The official Debian 4.0 contains Sun JDK 5 in its non-free section. To get it, you edit /etc/apt/sources.list to enable the non-free repository, and then run apt-get install sun-java5-jdk.
Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list (with my changes high-lighted in red):
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 200704

Running apt-get install sun-java5-jdk caused apt-get to include several other dependencies and suggested other packages to install.
