I've been running Ubuntu for ~1yr now, so I should know how to do this.
To install java, you can go to System>Preferences>Synaptic from the main menu, enter your password, and download the j2re1.4 and java-common packages, or enter [code]sudo apt-get install j2re1.4 java-common[/code] from the command line, and install all dependencies. PM me if you need to know anything else.
