It isn't a large problem to install -- since Soprano (KDESupport) needs 
it, you should have it installed already if using KDE-4.  If your distro 
doesn't have a binary for it, just download the JDK from Sun, unpack it 
and copy it to "/usr/local/", and set the necessary environment variables.

I have attached my profile.d script for JDK 1.6.0_03[change the version 
if needed}.
