You can download it from the sun site and run the installer. I prefer to add this to my sources :

deb http://ubuntu.tower-net.de/ubuntu/ warty java

and apt-get it

Sorry for not being clear. Do this :

1) open a terminal
2) type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
3) place that whole line (deb http://ubuntu.tower-net.de/ubuntu/ warty java) at the end of your file
4) close gedit
5) start synaptic*
6) reload
7) search for sun-j2sdk1.5
8) install

* alternatively, just type these instead at the terminal :
5) sudo apt-get update
6) sudo apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5

Hmm I'm running hoary, but put in the warty java repository, and it gives me this:

sun-j2sdk1.5:
Depends: sun-j2sdk1.5debian but it is not installable

any ideas?

Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to figure out where packages I installed come from. Do you have universe/multiverse enabled ?

Why don't you download java sdk from java.sun.com?
They have the installer for linux too.
Pick the .bin ones since you're using ubuntu.

I put the Sun SDK on my system; it's not really any harder than installing a package. Just remember to add these lines to /etc/bash.bashrc for better usability:


JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/dir
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH
