Installing Java 5 on Ubuntu Linux Last fall I installed Java 5 on Ubuntu Linux -- and it seems to work "fine" even though it's not one of our officially supported platforms.  Note: I haven't fully tested it, so can't gaurantee it's completely compatible with Ubuntu (even though we do test on other Linux's, we don't test on Ubuntu, and there may be incompatible Linux differences that interfere with Java compatibility).

I wrote about my experience in a previous blog entry.  But, really, it was as simple as following the instructions on the ubuntu wiki.  Which didn't seem to help this guy and his quest for Java on Ubuntu.  So I'm posting again, another link to the Ubuntu wiki instructions on installing Java on that system.

Unfortunately those instructions don't work for installing Java 6 on Ubuntu (I tried).
