Just when i installed UBUNTU in my virtual machine i looked for my development applications. And the prime need was JAVA, the language in which i talk these days :p

So people like me, who are LINUX aspirant, and want to lean more about it, start by using java. A simple command in the console can do the magic

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

The install is going to take time, depending on the kind of network hooked into ur machine
just when the installer finishes it, you can use the following two commands to verify the successful install.
