Installing Oracle Java 7 JDK using a ppa

[Ric Moore]

I figured I'd start a new thread so other's can pick up on this.

It doesn't directly contain that Java 7 package, but provides a package 
that will install it from Oracle and correctly configure alternatives. 
Works like a CHARM! It did the complete install before I knew it, just 
by installing the .deb package. I highly recommend Java 7 as it seems to 
deal with multicores when Java 6 would dump it's entire load on the 
first CPU. Enjoy! Ric
