It's not in the repos anymore due to Oracle changing the license. If you can give the output of:
uname -a; lsb_release -a
Thanks
It's still in the repositories for every supported version of Ubuntu *except* Ubuntu 11.10, though you may want to install the version from Oracle's website anyway, as explained below.
If you're using Ubuntu 11.10, and you want to use proprietary Java from Oracle, you can get that at http://
However, the free open source implementation of Java -- OpenJDK and the Icedtea browser plugin -- which is also official, is still provided in Ubuntu's official software sources, and there is no plan to ever stop providing that. To use the latest version of that, install the packages called openjdk-7-jre and icedtea-plugin.
If you're running a previous version of Ubuntu, then you can install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin (for Oracle's proprietary Java -- these are from the partner repository, but if you search for them in the Software Center you'll be given the opportunity to enable that repository automatically.
If you need further assistance, then in your reply, please try to include the information that actionparsnip requested.
