I used the (non-free-as-in-speech) Sun JDK on my Debian box just before
it was released under a free-er license.
I think there are a few Ubuntu or Debian folks on this list.

I used aptitude to install java7-jdk:

not sure if that was the right first step, but I don't have anything
that looks suitable for JAVA_HOME in /usr/lib and I'm afraid I'm being
a

Any insights on what JAVA_HOME is likely to be on an Ubuntu system?
Debian? I'm sure this won't be my last question ...
thanks,
