Install sun java 6 on ubuntu 10.04 (jdk jre)

Add the repository and then update Ubuntu...Then you can use the same old command
| $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or {Depending upon what you need) $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre |



I thought I was going insane trying to add this mirror to realize add-apt-repository wasn't installed. You need
apt-get install python-software-properties
if the command fails.
