Open the terminal and run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre".

However, Ubuntu will still use OpenJDK. You have to change it to the Sun Java VM for system wide use. Run the command.

"sudo update-java-alternatives --list"

Output should say something like this:

output:

   java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
   java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

The one of interest is the "java-6-sun" line. This verifies that is indeed installed. Then run:

"sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun"

Hope this helps. :)
