or install from backports:
1. add this to sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/  hoary-extras restricted

but you can always put everything in case u want more than sun java
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/  hoary-extras main universe 
multiverse restricted

2. do "sudo apt-get update"
3. do "sudo apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5"
4. you are done!

we write at least 3 lines of codes to do meaningful work in java but that does not mean its more complicated and a maintenance nightmare. Ruby on Rails do require lesser code, but judging a language by counting the number of lines is just not right.  What's next - look ma no code no bugs!
