When I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, all the sudden I couldn't install Java (sha256sum mismatch jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz), which means I can't do much deving. Well I searched through the interweb and finally found a solution.

First:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

By now, you have probably gotten an error and the terminal has stated that Java was not installed. No problem.

Second:

Download Java directly from Oracle: http://www.oracle.co...ad-1501626.html

Now, move what you just downloaded to /var/cache/oracle-java7-installer/

Third:

sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java7-installer.postinst

Now scroll down and find the following:

		
		echo "Downloading..."
		rm -f $FILENAME
		WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL 
			|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
		rm -f wgetrc
		echo "Download done."

Now put a # next to each line between "Downloading..." and "Downloading done."

               
		echo "Downloading..."
		#rm -f $FILENAME
		#WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL 
			#|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
		#rm -f wgetrc
		echo "Download done."

Save, and go back to your terminal.

Finally, do:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Java should now install properly.

Be sure you do sudo before the move command.

May I ask how well a full AOSP rom compiles with all of the libs in 12.04? Have you tried yet/is it pain to tame? Also what kinda HW cfg do you have?

[marty331]

I run the script fine, but when I try to see my java version I get the following:

java -version
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* default-jre
* gcj-4.6-jre-headless
* openjdk-6-jre-headless
* gcj-4.5-jre-headless
* openjdk-7-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

Could you actually build with Java 7? The AOSP page says you need JDK6 for Gingerbread and JDK5 for <Froyo.

Just came to ask the same thing. I think JDK6 is the limit for Android application development as well.
