Revision history [back]

I had the exact same issue. I did the following to get it to work.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Hit TAB to get to Ok prompt. Ok to next screen as well.

When done, type java -version to see that it is installed You should be able to cd to the following path /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib

If that path exists then do the following. cd to /etc sudo vi bash.bashrc

go to the end of the follow, add the following, save and exit

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java export JAVA_HOME PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export PATH

once you exit, confirm new JAVA_HOME is set by typing echo $JAVA_HOME If the path shows up, you are done.
