That's great!!! I then expect many open source Java project could go to
Ubuntu repos!!!

I used jEdit for years and it is quite painful to install it on ubuntu.
There can be deb for it now!!! We may also use Aptana or Eclipse  as easy in
ubuntu!! Also JBoss framework could be installed with apt-get easily.

That's the best news I've ever heard this year!
Thanks Sun!!
