You can manually download it from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html and then install it.

As a java developer I can confirm that a manual install is the best option for java. Just make sure that you set your paths correctly: export JAVA_HOME=/data/dev/java/java6 - export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH. Pretty easy to switch between different java versions and JDKs that way. – jan groth Feb 6 at 12:14
