If you have Ubuntu 12.04 open a terminal and

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk <==== this package is the development kit

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre <=== this package is the java runtime environment.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-doc <=== this package is the development documentation.

Take a look at Ubuntu-Packages.
