Why do you want to do that? 
Do you *KNOW* that the Java app you want to run has JNI extensions that
will only run on Windows? Thats the only circumstance in which you need
to install the Java Windows JRE. If this isn't the case, the app should
run under a native Linux Java runtime package.

Did your Linux distro install Java? Most do, but may have installed
OpenJava, which isn't yet as good as DSun/Oracle Java. To check this,
open a Terminal window and run "java -version". 

If this shows any installed java, try running your app. If it doesn't
run, and you have OpenJava installed, Install the Java 1.6 SDK from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
and try again.

The installation process for the Windows and Linux JRE's are essentially
the same. The Windows JRE is a ZIP file which you unpack. The Linux JRE
is a shell script which you make executable with chmod and then run.
Both install all the files where they should be.
