I have not followed this discussion, but if you have a tar.gz file and you
unzip it first, then you don't need the 'tar xvzf' command, but just the
'tar xvf' command (since it is just a .tar file)
To unpack a tar.gz in one command you could use 'tar xvzf'
See 'man tar' for more information.
Concerning this java sdk .bin-file:
This is a shell script, which automatically extracts the files for you, so
try chmod to 755 and then execute it.
