Unable to install sun-java6-jdk on Lucid Lynx (10.04) release

Asked by Eugene Parkhomenko

I've tried to install sun-java6-jdk accordingly to this instruction http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html but I've got next error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate

Here is result of sudo apt-get update command:

It's not packaged any more. Oracle changed the license. This script however will install it for you:

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install64bitJava; chmod +x ./install64bitJava; sudo ./install64bitJava

Will give you oracle java 1.7 and will install for Chromium and Firefox (added that because people still use junky Firefox so it makes life easier)

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Eugene Parkhomenko for more information if necessary.
