Install_Oracle_JDK_in_Ubuntu_12.04
Hi,
I wanted to install the Oracle JDK in my ubuntu which already contains OpenJDK. Oracle doesn't official supports any repoistory
for ubuntu.
There are two possible ways now
1. Download and install JDK/JRE from Oracle manually.
2. Use PPA(Personal Package Archives) - This is not official and maintained by community and people say it as insecure.
So , for time being i chose to install via PPA

For ubuntu > 12.04
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
//For Oracle JDK 7
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
