updating java from a terminal

[Jim Rosser]

Run "sudo apt-get update" and see if you get any problems, it looks like it
cant find the Ubuntu servers to download the packages, you also might look
at upgrading since breezy is fairly old.  I dont know if your trying to
update your whole system to the latest or just Java but you can also use
"sudo apt-get upgrade" and that will upgrade all of your out of date
packages on that system.
