You need to install the Java Development Kit and then add the jar files to your classpath.

You can get the kit at java.sun.com. This question might be better asked in the Programming / Scripting Forum.

If it is an applet you must place it in an html document or use Sun's appletviewer. If it's not an applet and is just jar'ed source use this command java -jar filename.jar

if you use the java -jar filename.jar make sure that you're using a jdk 1.2.2 or higher

Actually, for getting JAVA runtime for Linux, you're better off going to
http://www.blackdown.org/

And then select a NA mirror.
