    <p>I'm trying to start working with Java, but so far haven't been able to get it on my machine properly. I'd really like to be able to compile from command line. After following the instructions <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332674" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> with no errors I can't compile with <code>javac</code>. Here's what I have so far:</p> <p>When I enter:</p> <pre><code>$ java -version </code></pre> <p>I get:</p> <pre><code>java version "1.6.0_16" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode) </code></pre> <p>When I run:</p> <pre><code>$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk </code></pre> <p>I get:</p> <pre><code>~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk Reading package lists...
