Install Java on Ubuntu 10.10 64

After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10, I noticed that the ice-tea firefox plugin for Java was installed. THis caused some issues with devices I was attempting to access. Here's how I resolved it:

  1. From the synaptec package manager, I removed icetea6-plugin.
  2. Add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
  3. Update the repository cache: sudo apt-get update
  4. Perform the install: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
  5. Restart Firefox
Now all is working.
