how to install sun java 6 on lucid lynx

[terry_gardener]

In the newly released Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the sun-java6-jre packages have been removed from the Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. So you cannot install it using the command sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre directly!!!

To install sun-java6-jre on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, type the commands below in Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

this can i be used for the JDK java packages just replace the jre with JDK

Maybe it is no longer open source because Oracle has purchased it.

Thanks for the install instructions.

Sun Java is back in the Ubuntu repositories, it's the latest version.

I'm doing unattended installs using a combination of preseeding and kickstart and would like to know if any one has any idea how to automate the license agreement that you have to manually accept when installing the sun jdk.

Cheers

Sun Java and Adobe Flash are in partner repo, need to enable it in synaptic or kpackagemanager.
