This post refers to a specific version: Ubuntu 6.10 - Edgy Eft.
As a result this may/may not work with any newer versions.

Yes, Sun have changed their licences (last year sometime (2006)) so that its now much easier to install Java on linux. You can install it pretty easily from the command line now.

To install follow the quick and easy guide:
Have apt update its repository
Next, tell it to install java.... simple.
Its actually that easy

To check its installed correctly, type:
to make sure the compiler is installed correctly
and
to ensure the runtime is installed correctly.

Done!
