Question Java/LimeWire installation

Alright guys. I'm posting here because I'm a real Linux newbie, and I don't have any friends who can help me out.. I'll give you what information I have, and hopefully you'll be able to help me through this. It's probably pretty simple.

OK, so LimeWire gives me the message that I need a Java Virtual Machine in order to run it. I download j2re-1_3_1_05-linux-i586.bin to /home/matthew and type sh ./j2re-1_3_1_05-linux-i586.bin.

Alright. I go through the whole agreement thingy. It decompresses and installs. So now I have a folder named jre1.3.1_05 under /home/matthew, and I try to install LimeWire again. Same deal.

1)Did I even get the right Java .bin file?
2)Am I supposed to install the Java into a different folder with root, or what?

Thanks.
