Don't know what I am doing or doing wrong, but can anyone help me to install java?

Are you using the Java Install dotPup?

basically, you download the java installer
move the installer to where you want it to install and run it
make a symlink to the java plugin in /root/.mozilla/plugins
(it's similar if you have Opera)
add the java/bin dir to your PATH
add export JAVA_HOME=path-to-java-dir to /etc/profile

my dotpup installer should do all this automatically
