Step 3. Install Java Software Dependencies

Please ensure you have enabled the Ubuntu partner repositories before continuing.

Step 3.1: Install Oracle/SUN Java 6 Run Time

Please see: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/oracle-releases-updates-for-java-7-jdk.html for the latest news.

Type as follows:

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

List the Java alternatives by typing as follows:

sudo update-java-alternatives -l

You should get the following

java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Make it available system wide:

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

The screen output should be something like the following.
