updating java from a terminal

[James D. Parra]

"sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk",  im assuming you are looking to update
the jdk.  To search for other java packages you can use "aptitude search
sun-java" or "just aptitude search java" for everything related to java.

Hello,

I am connecting to a workstation via ssh and I'd like to update the Java
install from 1.4.2 to 1.5. Since there is no GUI, what utility can I use to
perform the update?

Thanks Jim. However, I am getting the following errors. Any to get around
them?
