The file is a script. Open it in any editor and change the tail
command (there might be several). Alternatively, run tail yourself to
extract the zip file containing the sdk.

Something like this:

  tail -n +424 ./j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin > foo.zip
  unzip foo.zip

Check the contents of the script to see what number (e.g. 424) to use.
