I'm not familiar with Mandriva's package management, but you can get both straight from the tap

You probably want the Java Runtime Environment instead of the Development Kit. If Mandriva uses rpms you can download that, or else use the self-extracting installer.

For flash, even though its in beta, use the new flash 9 player. It is light years better than the old flash 7 player.
