Yes you need a java run-time installation. There are three that work (I think) Sun, IBM and Blackdown. We use the blackdown version here and it runs fine on our installs of mozilla and phoenix.

The java plugin .so is less than 1Mb in the blackdown version. However I suspect it wouldn't work without the rest of the jre. Which still leaves you needing to download quite a bit. 

I assume you are on a modem or something equally pain inducing.
