You want to just run stuff or start programming?

Run stuff you need the runtime files.

Programming you need a compiler.

Both I think are available from java.sun.com

Which version of ubuntu?

On the latest version 7.04 if you make sure you are running the latest version of firefox it should automatically prompt and install the plugin when you visit a java site.

go into the package manager and do a search for java, look for 1 named java-5 or 6 right click and do a complete package re-installation

I thought it came bundled with the Sun JRE?

If not then you have to do the annoying typing in shit in the command propt thing.

But open up Firefox and type about

lugins in the address bar to double check if it is there or not...
