Did you try searching for java in thread titles before you posted this? the top result would have answered your question, I think.
Not sure what says you have Opera anything installed, but you don't. Or you didn't upgrade to OS2008, one or the other.

Do NOT try to install regular Linux apps onto the tablet. Go through maemo.org (downloads), tableteer, the Nokia OS2008 site and/or developer sites mentioned on this forum.
Java is not quite ready yet. Benson is correct: it's been discussed ad nauseum here.

It also says you have OS 2007. When you upgraded your OS you switched to the MicroB browser.

What about running J2ME on the tablet? Would that work?

That's also available, but not quite useful. The specific implementation used is PhoneME, if you want to look it up.

In an effort of not sounding too dumb... if I install a Java application that runs on the tablet, would a web page use that engine and run Java?

We actually developed the Java code using Eclipse on both Windows and Linux Fedora, then moved the jar files to the various handhelds. Two of the handhelds in the demo ran verisons of Windows Mobile running J9, the third handheld, the N800, ran Jalimo, and the fourth machine was a laptop running Sun's J2SE.
The web browser in OS2008 is a Gecko-based browser, similar to Firefox 3; so fully supports JavaScript. However, apart from a similarity of syntax there is no commonality between JavaScript and Java.
Jalimo can be used to run Java SE applications, using SWT as a GUI toolkit and this is making good progress. Even without using the Jazelle extensions supported by the CPU, apart from start-up time, it's not as slow as I was expecting in use.
There are no browser plugins which hook into Jalimo or similar to provide Java applet support in the browser, as far as I'm aware.

Just got my N800 yesterday and so far I love it. Got it upgraded to OS2008 with no problem. It says I have Opera 8 installed.
So heres the issue... I went to my favorite site (pogo.com) to play some games. Pogo uses Java for running their games online. When you load the game, it says you need Java and to go to their site to download for Linux. I tried downloading all the Linux self extracting files but can't install through the application manager. So some more research, I found out I need to install it manually. Tried to use X Terminal, but it won't let me in the root as I have no idea what the password would be.
Fact is... I know nothing about Linux. I have been searching for some guidelines on how to accomplish this but no luck so far. I would be greatful for any instructions or guidance. I don't need to use anything else Java at this time... I just want it to work in Internet pages.
