i havent used java in two years.aside from mostly office/business applications its pretty much useless in a pc.its also a malware magnet (google java exploits).internet explorer doesnt uses activex instead for script.you can enable the java script (not the same thing as java)plugin for firefox and chrome based browers.hope this helps.if you are one of the few who needs java for whatever reason you can download it from here.

There should be plenty of opensource replacement JDK's in the repository. Icedtea, for example, is a good candidate.

You should have openjdk in the default repositories, so this should work fine

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
