Java To Be Removed from Ubuntu, Uninstalled from User Machines

Oracle’s Sun Java JDK packages are to be removed from the Ubuntu partner repositories and disabled on users systems. Oracle, in retiring the “Operating System Distributor License for Java,” means Canonical no longer have permission to distribute the package. The change will affect Ubuntu 10.04 LTs, Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 users only. Users who have the “sun-java-6” package installed on their system will see it removed via a future software update — the exact date of which is “TBD.”
