ejre-1_6_0_34-fcs-b04-linux-arm-sflt-eabi-headless-19_jul_2012.tar.gz

I guess my friend got the wong java file. And it seems it's quite hard for non technical user to do this...

Both these files are fine. As it says in step 1 of the installation instructions for Java:

1. Go to the Java SE for Embedded Download page on Oracle's website at this link. You can download either Java SE for Embedded 6 or Java SE for Embedded 7. In either case, the version you need is "ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP, Little Endian".

The problem is that your friend downloaded the wrong JRE QPKG. As it says in step 5 of the installation instructions for Java:

5. Download the ARM JRE installer QPKG from this link or this link. The downloaded file is named JRE_7.zip. Unzip this file to extract the JRE_7.qpkg file that it contains. Although the name of this QPKG suggests that it's specifically for JRE 7, it works with either the JRE 6 or JRE 7 version of the .tar.gz file.

Instead of using the links listed there, your friend downloaded an x86 JRE QPKG from the QNAP website. This incorrect QPKG contains a full copy of the x86 Java code. The correct QPKG doesn't contain any Java code, but installs whatever version of the Java code it finds in the /share/Public directory.
