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/
