Install Sun Java JDK and JRE on Ubuntu

Just type few lines and install it. First, enable the repository by editing /etc/apt/sources.list. So, open the source list by any test editor

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line in it

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner

Then save and close the test editor. Keep in your mind that the repository link will be based on your Ubuntu version. My case Ubuntu version was 10.10. Now type following commends

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Test that weather JDK is installed properly or not. Just type

java -version

You will get following message in terminal…

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

It’s done. 🙂
