hanzomon4:
Download the .bin file to your home folder, then, pull up the ever-handy shell:
chmod +x j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo ./j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo cp j??1.6.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java
I'd think that would be copy and pastable. I'd think, what a silly thing to do.

i cant wait until java comes preinstalled in ubuntu and other distros now that it is open sourced
but this will hold me over for now

AFAIK java 6 isn't open sourced, the opened the java 7 tree.
Anyway, as long as some important parts are missing (I'm thinking of the whole classpath) it would be senseless to include the opened java.
So I think it'll take a long time for open source java to hit the repos.
Edit: I used this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1307829&postcount=14) to install it. Worked great with the correct filename.

It'd be nice if someone who's done this can write a shell script :)

I havenät tested, but there should be, because HotSpot was signifantly improved:

Download this (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=21024&stc=1&d=1166087751) patch. (No guarantee for this to work, use at your own risk)
cd /usr/share/java-package/
sudo patch -p 1 </path/to/java-package_mustang.txt
cd
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-6-linux-i586.bin
sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk6.0_6.0.0_i386.deb
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config jar
# etc

Following Kuja's procedure, I did some minor changes to the steps in his code that didn't work for me. This is the code that I used:
chmod +x j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo ./j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun
sudo cp j??1.6.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre -r
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java
java -version
You will have to accept sun's license.
This worked fine in a clean Edgy install. Thanks Kuja for your help!
