Ubuntu does not come with java installed by default, due to licensing I believe.

If you install/have installed the package sun-java-jre, then you have version 6 update 13. It is doubtful this will be updated prior to Karmic being released.

If you install/have installed openjdk-6-jre, then it seems as though this is compatible with update 14.

If the openjdk-6-jre package does not make you "compatible", then visit http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp & click on the Free Java Download button. Select the second download, Linux (self-extracting file), and while it downloads check out the instructions. Prior to installing, you might want to remove any previously installed java packages and perform a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' from the terminal.

Can you help with this problem?
