When you say ‘does not work’ what exactly do you mean? What are you expecting to happen after you install it – is there a specific java program you’re trying to run?
If you’re just trying to get applets to work in Firefox, you probably just need to make a symbolic link to the JRE plugin component in the Firefox plugins folder, check out the FAQ:
