If it's not really necessary to have the latest update, you can easily install sun-java6-jdk using Synpatics (I think Karmic uses update 15).
Otherwise check this link:

It's for Jaunty but the procedure is the same. Also notice this example makes dir /usr/java and unpacks jdk there. It could just as well be installed to home dir.
Edit:
Just found another (and better) guide to install java manually:

It's for Sun JRE but the procedure is the same for JDK. Also notice this example makes dir /opt/java/32 and unpacks jdk there. It could just as well be installed to home dir.
Final note:
The only reason to install JDK is if you are a Java developer. Non-developers only need the Java Runtime Environment (ie sun-java6-jre or even openjdk-6-jre)
