Simon,
Did you attempt to install via the GUI program - e.g Adept?
To install the java stuff you have to agree to the Sun licence. If you attempt 
to install via GUI, the licence agreement is not displayed on screen 
(although I remember that it can be made to appear).
If it just hangs, then that is the problem. I would note the programs it wants 
to install and then use apt-get install from the command line - then you will 
see the licence agreement.
A bit lacking in *ubuntu gui installs there I think....
