install-openjdk-6-ubuntu-16.sh
# NOTE: This is a hack and will downgrade the tzdata package.
# Better alternatives:
# - Use Azul Zulu build of OpenJDK 6 (https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulu-linux/ - make sure you enable the box labeled Older Zulu versions)
# - Install Java 6 directly from Oracle and install it manually (https://gist.github.com/bmaupin/16855ce1b2484c459f41ad836a7d3f2f)

@shivajim As mentioned at the top of the gist, this is really a hack and shouldn't be used.

To install it on 18.04 you also need to install the following:
sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu-extra icedtea-netx icedtea-netx-common libpng12-0 libpulse0 libasyncns0 libsndfile1 libflac8 libogg0 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2

and all these on a clean 18.04 install:
sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu-extra icedtea-netx icedtea-netx-common libpng12-0 libpulse0 libasyncns0 libsndfile1 libflac8 libogg0 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libatk-wrapper-java-jni libatk-bridge2.0-0 libatk-wrapper-java libatspi2.0-0 x11-utils libfontenc1 libxaw7 libxcb-shape0 libxft2 libxmu6 libxt6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1 libxpm4 libice6 libsm6 mesa-utils at-spi2-core

on 18.04 you also need an old version of ca-certificates-java: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ca-certificates-java

@besnikbelegu @catb0t I'm glad you got it working although I still don't recommend using this. I updated it to add a couple better alternatives. Thanks!
