Java is not installed by default on the FreekBox because the user needs to accept an enduser agreement and we will not do that for them.
The current FreekBox is based on Ubuntu 8.04. In this version, installing Java is easy. Make sure you are connected to the internet. Go to Applications>Add/Remove, search for java. Select one of the java plugins, e.g. IcedTea Java Plugin, and apply. The package will download and install automatically. If you selected the Sun Java 6 Plugin or Sun Java 6 Runtime you will need to agree to Sun's EULA before the installation will finish.
