Hello Micah,

Here is the script that I use.  I obtained it from either this mailing  
list or the ec2ubuntu list.  My apologies (and thanks!) to whomever  
created it.  It is for unattended installation of the official Sun  
Java distribution (full SDK, not just the JRE).  Note that you can  
perform this interactively by just issuing "apt-get install sun-java6- 
jdk"   You can also install the OpenJDK (assuming everything that you  
need is implemented there as expected).  Google around if interested.
