Java 6 would not install from apt-get install sun-java6-jre “package sun-java6-jre is not available” I found some help on a ubuntu form Happy-coding: sudo add-apt-repository “deb [archive.canonical.com/](http://archive.canonical.com/) lucid partner” that fixed it. ---

Just to expand on this the `sun-java6-jre` package is not available from the main repository because of how the licensing is laid out by Oracle. To get the Sun Java environment you need to add the `partner` repository. You can do this by using `add-apt-repository` to add the `partner` repository [ul] [li] `sudo add-apt-repository "deb [archive.canonical.com/](http://archive.canonical.com/) lucid partner"` for 10.4 LTS[/li] [li] `sudo add-apt-repository "deb [archive.canonical.com/](http://archive.canonical.com/) maverick partner"` for 10.10[/li] [li] `sudo add-apt-repository "deb [archive.canonical.com/](http://archive.canonical.com/) natty partner"` for 11.04[/li][/ul] or [ul] [li] uncommenting the `partner` repository in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list`[/li][/ul]
