    Currently I am running java 1.5 on debian stable (etch):
    java -version
    java version "1.5.0_11"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

    How can I upgrade to java 1.6 (JDK the version from SUN)?

    There are various vays you can achieve that. The easiest way to do this is probably to use the debian package from backports:
    http://backports.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/sun-java6/
    Just add the following line to your sources.list:
    deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
    then run:
    aptitude update
    and finally install it:
    aptitude -t etch-backports install sun-java6-jdk
