Java JDK install

[blackbeltsas]

I am trying to program in Java for class and was wondering if the Java JDK and JRE packages can be used in Ubuntu 10.04. I already tried to do
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

and it put a folder in my home file but I cant find where the development
tool is

What are you looking for in a "development tool?" Do you mean you're looking for an editor or an integrated development environment (IDE)? If so, that's separate from what you've already installed. You can find several threads on IDEs and info on programming tools in the Programming Talk forum.

If I'm way off, and you're looking for something else, add more info.
