Need Java help!!

[MICsteven]

I want to download Youtube videos, and whenever I try one method, I need Java installed. I've done various methods using Terminal, and I've now got the latest version... I think. I'm new to Ubuntu, and I have no real idea what the hell I am doing, (but fun so far!), and I need help to install/download/configure/ work some wizardry to get Java running. If there are alternative methods to download Youtube videos, I would like to know about them too. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Downloading youtube videos violates their terms, and asking how to do it on ubuntuforums is frowned upon at best: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11290295
