Just search Java, goto the site and download it. It doesn't take long and after installation you can play any games or goto any chatrooms run by Java.

whenever u wanna use "for the first time" a java applet on the web, it will ask u for the java runtime, if it is not there or not installed it will automatically install it for u or redirect u to the java website..
