Ubuntu 10.04 java

Since $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" DOESN'T WORK

If you need the real Sun JRE you can:

1. goto dir like /usr/local/src or wherever you put stuff you install that's not apt-get
2. download java-jre with duinsoft's install script:
3. gunzip it
4. run the install script
5. find out whereis (I found it got installed to /opt/java/32/jre1.7.0_09/bin/java)
6. link to it from /usr/local/bin
7. restart the shell so your computer can find it

# cd usr/local/src
# lynx http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg/pool/all/update-sun-jre.bin
# gunzip update-sun-jre.bin.gz
# sh update-sun-jre.bin
# cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -s /opt/java/32/jre1.7.0_09/bin/java
