How to install Java

To install sun-java6
Be sure all software sources are selected under menu: System->Administration->Software source: Ubuntu software

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-bin

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

and then select this as your default java jre with

sudo update-java-alternatives

Hope this helps

For all the other reader...

Reading the http://www.arachnoid.com/PLCash/

....
From a command shell, move to the program directory and type "java -jar PLCash.jar". This command can easily be made the contents of a shell script.
....

So please try

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

cd where you have downloaded the jar file

and then type

java -jar PLCash.jar

Hope this helps
