To install java please refer to Medibuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
Then you can install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package.

As for iTunes, you can use the installed Rhythmbox Music Manager, or Banshee.
Vuze is a bittorrent client, and already installed on Ubuntu is Transmission bittorrent client.

Best Regards,
Will
