The red link in my signature will check your version and also provide a link to download the latest version.

Do not choose the RPM version as that is for other distros besides Ubuntu.
Choose "save" the file to your Downloads directory and do not use Archive Manager.
The file will be in .tar.gz format.
The green link will provide instructions on how to update java.
You just copy and paste the commands. Since the web page has not been updated to 7.5,
I used gedit to paste the commands to and changed the 4 to a 5 before copying them again and pasting them into terminal.
32 bit instructions are on the left and 64 bit instructions are on the right.
It says to first remove the old version and a link is provided to take you to the bottom of the page where the removal instructions are.
