A general tip about Java in Ubuntu

If you need to install Java on your Ubuntu PC, check the Ubuntu Software Centre before searching for installation files to download.
Go to the top left corner of the screen:
Applications --> Ubuntu Software Centre
Then type in the search box: java
And install:
  • OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime
  • OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start
  • Icedtea Java Plug-in

As a general rule in Ubuntu in particular, it's always good to see what's in the Ubuntu Software Centre before looking for files to download from the internet.
