 How to install Java Development Kit (JDK) v5.0

[snip]

sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk

    * Accept the licence agreement that appears.

    * Set Sun's JVM as default Java version:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

    * Edit /etc/jvm and move /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun to the top of
JVMs offered:

gksudo gedit /etc/jvm

    * To fix the Ubuntu "libfontmanager" issue that can kill the entire
JVM (e.g. JasperReports), remove these troublesome fonts:

mkdir ~/fonts_backup
sudo mv /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/aakar-medium.ttf
~/fonts_backup/
sudo mv /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/Rekha.ttf
~/fonts_backup/

The item just above it also shows how to upgrade to Java Development Kit
(JDK) v6.0.
