How did you "install" Java? The better ways of installing Java in Debian are described here.

Hi

If you installed java to a not original place like /usr/local the system not know about the program, not see the binaries.

for example i installed java to /usr/java and my system didn't find it.
You must export the java binaries path.
write this to the .bashrc in your home directory
code:

export PATH=$PATH:/path of java/bin

in my case
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05/bin

or

add java binaries path to the file /etc/profile

have fun!
And please forgive me my english is very wrong but i hope you will understand it.

Just for the record, if you want it to be a lot easier and integrated into debians package management system (ie, every time you upgrade, debian won't re-install gcj over your java install) try this little tut.
