I want Java to be installed on my Leopard MacBook, but I couldn't find the JDK kit for Mac on Sun's Java site. Where should I look for it?

The JDK is already installed on Mac OS X 10.5. If you go to /Applications/Utilities you will see Java Preferences. There you can select between the versions of Java you would like to use, including version 6 (6 is only 64-bit so if you have a 32-bit Core Duo Macbook you'll have to use SoyLatte).

You need to install the Xcode developer tools. The JDK is included there. Before you do that, though, you can check if it is already installed by using javac -version. To find out where it is located, you can run the command which javac, although it will most likely be a symlink to somewhere else.

It comes with the OS.

Try "java -version" in Terminal.

Apple is maintaining this version, not Sun. It gets updated using Software Update, and there may be downloads (for beta versions) at the Apple Developer Connection site.

OpenJDK seems to be the ultimate source for anyone who doesn't want to run in to licensing issues. I understand Oracle's version is derived from OpenJDK.

Installers for macOS can be found at https://adoptopenjdk.net/

You may want to try soylatte or openJDK from Mac Ports . Also, Apple has download section of java too ( http://developer.apple.com/java/download/ ) you didn't tell what architecture you are using which has some impact.
