The Sun JDK can be installed on Ubuntu by adding a repository and installing with apt-get. The following works with the latest versions of both at the time of writing:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
If the command add-apt-repository is missing, install it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
With the alternatives system in place, the Java executable is automatically available:
/usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Setting up JAVA_HOME can now be done by editing /etc/profile and adding to the bottom:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
