Auto install of Java on Ubuntu

We recently had an issue on our appliances for builds that was causing a problem when it came time to install Java via apt-get on Ubuntu.

Found this gem that should save a lot of time:

sudo sh -c ‘echo sun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections’;

sudo apt-get install —yes sun-java6-jre;
