Try downloading just the SDK. For example, here is the link to download Java 2 SE 1.5: http://snurl.com/4sx2m

I use netbeans 6.1, the jdk isnt bundled with it, you need to download it seperately as Deepak suggests.

Assuming you've already installed a jdk in a default windows location, you'll probably find the jdk under C:\Program Files\Java, for example on my windows xp box I have :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16

this is the jdk directory you need to point to during installation.
