I'd be surprised if OpenJava isn't included in Ubuntu distros - it is in
Fedora. However, like most developers, I use Sun/Oracle Java 1.6, which
is a free download and very easy to install for Linux or Windows.
Three ways of seeing if java is installed are:
<Code>
alternatives --display java # should mention Open Java as
# 'current best'
locate java # Lists all paths containing 'java'
java -version # Displays the installed version
</code>
