sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Note to self:
Ubuntu no longer includes the Java repos in their default builds.
To install Java on a recent Ubuntu machine (9.04 and up I believe), use the following command line commands to install it.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
