    How do I add Java?

    I'm running Fiesty Fawn and wanted to add Java. When I type it into Adept it lists a million different files. What the exact name of the file I need to select and install? Thanks.

    Do you want the JDK or just the runtime environment? Also, do you want Sun's Java 6, or the open sourced IcedTea Java 7?

      Basically, do you want to create Java apps, or just run them?

        The java packages you are looking for are most likely the ones needed to access java content on the web. These are installed as part of the 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' package.

          Where would I find these 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' packages. Would I add them manually into the third party repositories in Adept? Thanks.

            If you have the Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted) and Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse) repositories selected in Adept Manager | Adept | Manage Repositories then just open Adept Manager and search for kubuntu-restricted-extras and mark it for installation and click on Apply Changes.
