[ubuntu-za] Installing Java on 8.04 LTS

[Russell Cloran]

Hi,

I'm no Java person, so I have no idea what this "jar" command is, but
it looks like it is part of the JDK packages,

russell at zest:~$ jar
The program 'jar' can be found in the following packages:
 * java-gcj-compat-headless
 * gcj-4.2
 * sun-java5-jdk
 * kaffe
 * gcj-4.3
 * cacao-oj6-jdk
 * openjdk-6-jdk
 * fastjar
 * sun-java6-jdk
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
-bash: jar: command not found

So, it seems like an "aptitude install sun-java5-jdk" should do the trick.
