Don't set the PATH this way. Specify the path list fully:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:$JAVA_HOME/bin export PATH JAVA_HOME

Find out your current PATH before and add :$JAVA_HOME/bin to the end of it.

Both my Sarge and Etch installations have /etc/environment. You might not be running Debian at all.

If it's obvious that /etc/environment is being ignored, you can place this line in ~/.bashrc

. /etc/environment
