An easiest way to install sun-java6, as at the above link, is to use
the Canonical
partner repositories:
r...@numsha:~# apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-jre:
Installed: 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3 0
500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
r...@numsha:~# grep partner /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
I think those are not enabled by default, but there are easy
GUI ways to do so. System > Administration > Sofware Sources, IIRC.
The link above complains about partner repo security issues,
but that is even more of an issue for me if I download a JRE from
java.com
(or does it have an update built-in?). I'm tending to trust
Canonical more than Oracle, and I'm more likely to spot
a java security issue in RSS/blogs/security mailing lists pertaining
to Ubuntu rather than pertaining to Java.
You need not even remove the openjdk-6 packages, unlike the link
above,
but then you have some work setting the default java. However, having
both,
in case of a security issue, I can quickly switch all the default java
on our labs,
and there will at least only be reduced functionality, not none. Most
people won't notice.
r...@numsha:~# update-alternatives --list java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
r...@numsha:~# update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
jre/bin/java
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java to
provide /usr/bin/java (java) in manual mode.
r...@numsha:~#
Easy enough.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to set all the java tools and
commands in one line, and there are many.

I can, by setting the relevant alternative (what is that,
appletviewer?)
and then doing a JMOL test of your suggestion. Send me the sage
code to run please.
