How do I get Java on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit?

Note that I am also using chromium (:

All I want it for is to play a game called Minecraft.

Plz help!

Open the Package manager

System->Administation->Synaptic Package Manager

Type in sun-java6-jre into the search box

Click on "Apply".

Then "OK" or "Install" (Can't remember sorry) on the window that opens.

That's it done.

This won't work in 10.04, where you would need to enable the partner repository first. And you might also want sun-java6-plugin.

It's working for me in 10.04, these are the files I have

sun-java6-jre.
sun-java6-bin.
sun-java6-fonts.
sun-java6-plugin.

Perhaps you upgraded to 10.04 with java already installed or you activated the partner repository, the Sun packages moved to partner with Lucid.

I think even after installing sun java ,openjdk will be used as default.
run this after installing sun java

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

[AgentXSmith]

I just tried to use WebEx and it says I don't have Java installed but I checked my synaptic package manager and it shows it as being there. Is there something I need to do to "activate" it?

[ankit singh]

Type these codes in terminal

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5this solves this bug
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6542512


and type

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sunthis code will replace openjdk to sun java

and test ur java at

can't get Java to work in Firefox 3.6.13 Kubuntu 10.04 on LXDE desktop with Apparmor Firefox profile from Bodhi [thank YOU so much]

I've had Java 1.6.0_20 version and did :


sudo apt-get upgradeand now NO Java version in Java link: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

it goes on next page without finding what version is installed: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

but about: plugins in Firefox:


Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_24

or:


baachor@linuz:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
baachor@linuz:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice
, or type selection number:
what is going on? do I have to uninstall OpenJDK like : http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=4847&p=52604#p52604

any idea ?

thank You .)

[ankit singh]

Press enter to keep the current choice
, or type selection number: Just type 2 at the prompt and then enter :)

or open the terminal and type this (this is direct)
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

[bachor]

Just type 2 at the prompt and then enter :)

or open the terminal and type this (this is direct)
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun


yes I hit Enter [to leave option 2] or tried 2 and Enter, and either way I got this error:
