sun java6 on ubuntu 10.04 (removed from canonical repos due to Oracle)

(Note, I personally prefer openjdk for java7)

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

OPTIONALLY sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

note: this only installs java version 1.6.0_21 so maybe not so useful

BETTER ALTERNATIVE: use the oab shell script... (creates a local repo in /var/local)

git clone https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6.git ./oab-java.sh

THEN install all of the java parts (or maybe just pick and choose)

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk

INSTALLS JAVA 1.6.0_35
