Sun JDK on Ubuntu
Thought it would be simple, but apparently not. These are the instructions I followed first and the installer seemed to get stuck at 99% for some reason: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk To get it to work, replaced the last 2 lines by: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sudo update-alternatives --config java
