Try installing these packages:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-bin

Then make sure that Sun's Java is the default Java system on your computer:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
when you run this command, you will be asked to pick a Java system that is to be the system-wide default. You should see something like this:
  Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
          2 /usr/bin/gij-4.2
The obvious choice here is number 1, since it's obviously the Sun version of Java, which is more than likely what you need.

Hi, Thankyou so much for your help.I had to install packages through synaptic because I tried to do it through the terminal and it couldn't find sun packages.That said it's working great.Once again thankyou for your help.
