updating java from a terminal

[James D. Parra]

Type aptitude search sun-java and see if java5 comes up and install whatever
java5 packages you see, i don't remember that far back but maybe they named
the java packages something different from what they do now, you might also
try aptitude search java just to see what java packages are available,
someone used to using breezy might provide a better insight.

I get the following, below, but not sure if 1.5 is here ;

Tried running apt-get install java-common, but it says its already install,
which makes sense for the old package.
 
#apt-get install java-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
java-common is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
# java -version
java version "1.4.2_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_10-b03, mixed mode)
<snip>
 
Any other suggestions to get Java updated?
 
Thanks again for your help.
