For some mysterious reason any time someone proposes  on the mailing
list a way of installing Java, a couple more people reply with different
ways they feel is better.  Do that for a few months and you end up with
that wiki page, with cut and pasted additions added left and right. It
seems even one of my old mailing list message from ubuntu-user made it
directly into the wiki (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IBMJava).  
Of course my method is the best :)

Yeah, it should probably be rewritten; Java questions keeps coming back
on a regular basis from new users.  Or wait a few months  and maybe
we'll finally have a true open-source approach to Java that will render
most of these pages obsolete.
