When you say Java, do you mean the runtime or the development kit for programming in the Java language?

If the latter, you can install the JDK with:


sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

In fact, I think this includes the JRE.. but probably not the best way to install it if you're only after the runtime.
