Install Java on UBUNTU

hello all..

I installed JDK following the steps mentioned here..
https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html


after the completion,i rebooted the machine and i typed
======================================================
rosn@ros-notebook:~$ java -version
java version "1.4.2-02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
================================================

My question is, why is it still showing 1.4.2.02 and not 1.5 ?

Thanks
Ram K

its in the ubunto repos now.

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Code:
java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)
I assume you are using ubuntu from the url.

unless you specifically want blackdown which is 1.4.2 as the latest.

you'll also need to do
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
to set it to the correct version
