An apparently successful experiment with jre 6u16
I downloaded the slax jre 6u16 module from
http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=193
Do a slax lzm2dir on the downloaded module
In TC do a mksquashfs on the created directory.
Append this new .tcz file into the tce folder and re-boot TC.
This appears to give a working jre6u16. At least the test I ran from firefox at
http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml works.
Of course, this is not a properly constructed tcz module conforming to TC conventions. However, it is a reasonable proof of concept.
Best regards,

Here's a way for persistent installs of firefox:
Download jre-6u16-linux-i586.bin (linux (self-extracting file))
http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80
extract after giving exec permissions:
sudo chmod +x jre-6u16-linux-i586.bin
./jre-6u16-linux-i586.bin
Create link to /firefox/plugins:
cd /firefox/plugins
sudo ln -s /jre1.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
For Firefox, you can also add /Tools/ java console
cd /firefox/extensions
sudo unzip /jre1.6.0_16/lib/deploy/ffjcext.zip
Note: /java/jre1.6.0_16, with man folder deleted, runs
103.9M ::)
edit: don't think it's working properly......

working fine with a full boot; must require some graphic deps.

I came up with an install guide for Sun Java jdk/jre/6 which enables everything java (inc browser plugins) in Tinycore here http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=7397.msg39227#msg39227
Its pretty straightforward just follow steps listed.
